There are a lot of good guns showing up. Anyone know where I can get photos of the Shah's 99 and the elaborate rifle with gold animals that was presented to an outgoing Savage CEO? It had his name engraved on the bottom of the receiver. I'm also looking for any other one off 99's.

I think you need to travel to Maine for a "picture" of the Prince/Shah of Iran rifle.
Gough engraved 1939.
JTC has said the rifle resides in the U.S. but don't know where.

Since the topic is "Savage Engraving" wouldn't be appropriate to include the 3 basic grades of engraving for Savage pistols? Tue did the majority of these and Gough did a few as well.

Brower's book covers engraving grades, finishes, grips and special grade pistols so no need to be overly redundant. Just the 3 basic.

From Brower's web site Savage Pistols

There are 3 basic models of Savage Pistols made in 2 calibers.
FANCY PISTOLS: 3 styles or grades of engraving or embellishment were available:
(a) “Protector” or “A” style: the least extensive & the least expensive coverage.
(b) “Monitor” or “B” style: more extensive coverage with greater detail; mid-
range cost.
(c) “Special” or “C” style: the most extensive coverage with greatest detail. This
was the most costly option.

In a similar vein, Savage .22's (1903's) could be engraved as well during Tue's time.
I think ?? 3 grades, but not sure. Other models besides 1903??
Need some help GeneB. smile

I may do a little bit on some of the other engraved Savages, the pistols and 1903's are very likely candidates.
This is still in the early stages of figuring out what to do. Some of this will be dependent on what the editor says. He emailed me he would contact me this week. Haven't heard from him yet.

Welp, answered my own question.
It appears at one time Savage offered engraving grades A-G & name scroll for 1903's, similar to the 1899's. And 4 flavors of checking.
At some point Savage offered 1903 grade EF & grade Expert, similar to Leader, Victor, etc.
Good Lord thatsalot of examples. eek

I can probably work it in in the custom 99 section. You've got some good photos there.

that is hands down the nicest checkering I have ever seen on a 99!
not one over run and just a few uneven diamonds! God that makes me want to get out my cutters and a piece of walnut!

Deerstalker I've been thinking this for awhile ; David should include your checkering instructions at some place in his book even if it was in the appendix. " A chapter on checkering " for the kids of us who would like to give it a try. Might increase sales too !

The closer I look at this rifle the nicer it gets. I can't imagine doing that level of woodworking.

Basic checkering and engraving instructions could go in the section covering aftermarket custom rifles. I'm sort of on hold now waiting to hear from the editor. He is supposed to call this week. The week is almost over. I'll start photographing my own guns today or tomorrow. Keep sending suggestions guys.

You could probably divote another book just to custom 99's

I almost hate sharing on the internet these days for fear of catching the virus. I know it must have mutated by now so it can travel up the cables and across the airwaves ta git me.

Might be interesting to get input from several professional engravers as to the time required to do different grades of Tue's engraving.


Savage...never say "never".

It has occurred to me that there may be too much info for one book. The emphasis is going to be on factory engraved and special feature 1895, 1899 and 99 rifles. Info on the engravers will also be included. The other engraved/special feature Savages may only be used in a limited manner. And the aftermarket guns may or not be included. I'm not trying to discourage any one from submitting info. The more I have the better I can make decisions on what to use. Maybe there will have to be a third book. If there is a third book it will be a lot easier to write if I have all the information already on hand.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but there are tons of books, videos and classes available for "how to engrave" and "how to checker".
Adding "how to" of either to this book would add a lot of pages and still not do justice for either craft.
If interested, get the specialized instruction material. JMO. smile
