Did you ever come up with the price for the book yet

How about some pics from the new book?
Monarch Grade

G grade

1895

Dick Johnson's C grade

Manlicher prototype

two pages comparing PE engraving

A2 short rifle

Tue engraved 99K

early Gough engraved 99K

I don't know why the last 2 pics are blurred. They look much better in the book. Tue's engraved K's look just like his A engraving on the 1899's. The most noticeable thing about Gough's engraving is the circle in the middle is less intricate than Tue's. There is a lot of variation in the K engraving attributed to Gough. Probably because he had other people working with him. The engraving on the PE's and DE's varied a lot also.

David what is the total for 3 books shiped Thanks Dick Johnson

Let me check and see what number my first book is.

Dick, you get one free because you are a contributor. I'll make the other two $75 a piece as an added thank you. So $150 total. No extra charge for media mail shipping.

Thanks for all your hard work David.

Looking back 20 plus years to when Savage levers appeared on the Gun and Knife internet site with 10 plus questions for every answer. Now we have three new books covering just about every aspect of the Savage lever rifles. It is something I would never have imaged at that time. I think there is still another books worth out there that we have not discovered. We just have to continue looking and recording the data.

A big " thank's" to Doug Murray for setting the corner stone and all the 24HourCampFire members, current and past, that helped with the puzzle...one piece at a time. We ain't done yet!

I have to echo Rick99's sentiment. When I joined in 2003, I knew NOTHING about 99's. Now, I know enough to be dangerous. I even learned to reload for my HP22 from this site. The journey has been amazing thanks to efforts like David and all the other members here.

I wouldn't have missed it. It is FUN!

Awesome

It is definitely a labor of love. I am really happy with the engraved book.
I have thought of a few revisions for the collector's guide. The transition 99E is one. I didn't know it existed when I wrote the collector's guide. I also failed to include a 99A with the medium weight barrel. Fortunately, I have one of each. I may do a definitive section on 1899 checkering also. I touched on the checkering quite a bit in the engraved book but I didn't group all the info into one place.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

David my books were numbered I think,152 has my name and i still have 154 , and and i believe that i sold or gave 2 away, i will check.

You are on the list with your preferences Norm.

I'm so excited for this book.

David,
New member here - first post, but I have followed threads for a few months. I thought I saw a comment from you somewhere that you would send a signed copy of volume 1 and 2 for $125? I can’t find the comment now. I plan to send you a check for volume 2, but would love to get both volumes if able.
I have reached out to you in the past outside of the forum regarding an engraved 1899. It was not factory engraved. When I get more competent on this sight I hope to post some pics of it to see if any members can help me learn more about it.

I can send out a copy of volume 1 now. I will follow up with volume 2 when it is available. You can send me $60 now for volume 1 and a check for the remaining balance for volume 2 later or a check for both $125 and I will send you volume 2 as soon as they come in. Thanks, David

David,

Please put me down for one book. I believe my first one was numbered 358 but will double check that. Will drop a check in the mail.

Dale

You are down Dale.
