On my "new" 1899B, serial number right around 16.000, there's the serial number stamped on the buttplate like normal.
But, there's also "SAV-35" stamped on it.
Nice big letters..
Any ideas? Don't remember seeing a discussion involving this.

Didn't think I'd be the only one. The stamping seems vaguely familiar, but couldn't find anything on a search. Thought it was a good time to bring it up again.
If I can find my camera tonight I'll take a pic.

I'm pretty sure that's the casting number. On all of them.

"SAV-35" is cast into the majority of the cresent plates.

Aah.. so maybe it is on my later ones. Probably why it seemed familiar.  Thanks!
