That's a beauty. I wish you had gotten it sooner, I could have included it in the engraving book.
I think Spittler did all of the engraving. It's really good but the engraving doesn't look like Tue's work.

What a gorgeous and unique 99, with high condition to boot!

I think the hunt to find, patience in pursuit, length of time anticipating, and the potential ups and downs of a negotiation (especially when it ends up working out for you) all add in to make a gun like this that much more appealing… not to say if you found it on a gun store rack and just paid the price - it wouldn’t be just as remarkable to possess!

Congratulations, that is a rifle most would/should consider the paramount of a collection. Savage AND otherwise!

Hard to find words. A work of art.

I would shoot it but not hunt it.

Congrats.

The curlie-cues are different than Tues'. The animals look somewhat different, the moose is a lot different than the one on the bottom of Dave Trauth's D engraved. There is sort of a heart shaped thing on the right side of the receiver between the lion and the forearm. There are several places where there is a flattened triangle, two of them are on the metal at the rear of the TD forearm. The engraving on the receiver ring is different than anything Tue has done that I know of.

Another example of an employee special rifle belonged to William E. King who carved Savage stocks from about 1900 to 1910. King also was an engraver. The engraving on his rifle looks somewhat different than Tues' also. This rifle is pictured on page 226 of the "engraving book".

that jewel would be cradled in my arms when they shoveled dirt in my face. mainly because they couldn't pry it out of my hands!
if that gun was the only gun in my collection, i would be satisfied.
awesome!

What kind of special order? Ledger can specify abbreviations for pistol grip, engraved, etc.
What is the serial number?
Did the rifle come with documentation?
Do you have a factory letter?
