Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors New guy to Savage pistols, with question about 1917 at LGS.

I believe in browers book he said that the spur hammer was a no cost "target hammer" option that was available on request. Seldom seen option.

Nice. So, this is sounding rather like a desirable piece? Sounds as if I might be acquiring it...if it hasn't sold by the time I get in there!

Guys...tons of thanks to all of you! FIickr hasn't gotten back to me yet about my login issue. So, if I get time I think I'll try another image host, and see if I can get one or two pics posted.

The serial number cutoffs listed in Bailey's book are a guide gathered from hundreds of pistols and factory documentation. There can be some overlap. #64xxB would indicate an early manufactured pistol of a later variation, 7000B-10000B.
It looks like the load indicator is present so that's good. Doesn't appear to have holster wear on the grip logo.
Blued finish is very hard to judge from pics. Yes it is shiny because it is either clean, like new or been polished. You'll have to judge that in hand.

Nice looking pistol. Did you buy it?
