No serial number, neat little lever lock on the right side by the trigger guard. .303, cresent metal buttplate, patena, good no-ding wood, tight, fair to good. What's it worth to a average non-rabid Savage collector....if there is one...

No...no...no Drew, those are Canadian prices your quoting.
Those 1856's go alot higher down your way.

Well it says Savage was organized in 1894. I also don't see a model 1856 . I mean, unless Savage made a Savage before Savage was Savage?

Could it be the earlier Civil War-era Savage revolver, with side safety and chambered in .303 cap-and-ball? The one carried by J.E.B. Stuart before he lost it and started using a LeMat?

Does it have "U. Grant" carved in the side of the frame with an old rusty nail?

Guns and Ammo has a decent article on the Burnside Breech Loader. Some of these where stamped "Burnside's Patent/Model of 1856. Has a breech lock lever on the right side and a cresent butt. I admit it would be hard to confuse with a 99 but the similarities are notable if one thought (or was told) it was an old Savage.

Whoopsy....Somewhere between 1856 (Pawn shop owners description) and 1899. Obviously a 1899, it has the brass cartridge counter, but I don't get the little slide lever locker on the right side by the trigger guard. Anyone got a picture of that? He want's around $550....

It a safety. Look at the sticky's posted at the beginning of this forum, lots of 99 pics in those.

"neat little lever lock on the right side by the trigger guard" I was thinking, this really narrows it down as to which model
