Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors 1917 savage 380 pistol

found one for sale in very good condition . no idea what they might be worth. asking $399? any help would be nice!

You should be buying, not asking.

This!

Hurry!

Wouldnt sell mine for that

Neither would anyone else unless it was total junk.

I’d have bought it.

Well did you buy it, domit? If so pictures are a requirement. 😎

I brought 15 Savage pistols to the last fest I was able to attend.

11 of them could have been for sale but everybody only wanted to know about the 3 380's and the one 1915 that I had with me and did not want to sell.

Lesson learned was that if and when you find a 380 or a 1915 in any caliber buy it. They are the ones that collectors want the most.

32's need to be either really cheap or in better than average to pristine condition to get much attention IMO.

bought it, $375 out the door. someone send me a cell # and I can send pictures.

Sounds like you bought it right, congratulations! Looking forward to seeing pictures.

A lot of the Savage pistols spent there lives in a drawer and there are very nice ones out there to be bought. I have most of the .32 variations but still need about half of the .380's.

Which 380's dont you have ? .................. How many variations are there ?
Why are some engraved/stamped with "Savage " on the side and some arent .....And i dont know why ?

I offered a 1917 .32 on the campfire about 2 years ago....in great condition and shoots great (PITA to clean!) and had no interest at all. It’s too nice to dump so I guess it will go to one of my grandsons eventually. Heck, they’ll probably all be into AR’s and 300 Win mags.

Brower's book use to be available on Amazon for around $24 but appears to now be out of stock... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0...d_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbee

"Why are some engraved/stamped with "Savage " on the side and some arent .....And i dont know why ?" Because it was made by Savage. They were always changing things.

Rick99,

I've got an extra of this version.

PM me if you are interested.

I have a 1917 never fired in original box 279xxb ,,,,,380 ...But you have that .......Rarely see the 1915 's ,,,,Ilike the feel of the 1907's grip more than the 1917

I have that model as well. Sounds like yours may be an upgrade though.
PM me if interested in selling.
I agree with your grip comment...

Ah, youse guys. Now yez got me thinking about getting a .32 shooter after I swore off of Savage pistols years ago. I didn't care much for the ergonomics and mechanicals having been spoiled by the Walther PP and others. I view such contraptions strictly from a user standpoint as they don't fall under my collecting purview (or rather accumulating stuff that sings to my heart). Since I have sh*t ton of .32 ammo and no .380 stuff, a .32 it should be.

Let me know if a cheap but solid gray rat with a decent bore falls out of the sky.

Have a walther pp as well in 32 ,,,,,,,,,,The 1907 in 32 are cheap enough ,in case you need a throw away ;-)
They are nice pocket pistols ,,,,,small compact
