I had a chance at a mint one about 5 years ago here in VA. I think it was 7-800 or something. I know a guy who is selling one in 303. Pretty worn though.

Prices sure have gone up since we figured out what they were. I bet it's the same theory I have about hunting spots. I try not to go to a place on a map that has a name, because it will be more popular. My friend Scott calls me "No Trail Roy". You guys gave it a name, made it a thing, and badda bing badda boom, you got yourself a price jack.

Checkered stock, but no checkering on the forearm. Is that how these came or was the forearm replaced?

BBH, yes some of them left the factory like that... it is correct..
I bid on it when it was much lower... I think the paid price is high but that is just me...

The checkering varied by what serial number range they are, bbh. Started out like that one, then went to full EG style checkering later.

It was sold at $1,275... according to the serial number, it had a 1938 date of manufacture... clean looking, but regardless, it's 'wayyyyy over-priced @ $1,275.00 !~!~! And that forearm looks like it might be a replacement... it's a totally different color and finish compared to that butt-stock, but hard to say. Jus' my 2�...  Strength & Honor... Ron T.
It's smart to hang around old guys 'cause they know lotsa stuff...

Can one of you guys please measure the hole spacing on the front of your Spiegel, if you have the rear sight off and it's not too much trouble? Thank you in advance...

That gun looks right to me. I have seen them look just like that one.

Looks correct for the serial range and it is D&T'ed. Given the condition and quanity produced I think the price was fair.

The guy that bought it didn't think it was overpriced.
Outside of the buyer and seller who is to say what is or isn't over priced?

The price was more than I paid for either of mine, but I've had mine a few years and these things aren't falling off trees. The rifle is probably right and I don't think it has been reblued. It is extremely rare for a seller to suggest something might be reblued and it is in fact not reblued

yeah, this is the second gun in a week that I have seen listed as reblued but was not... and I am not sure where ppl are looking but I bet I see AT LEAST 6 of these for sale a year.... probably more... they are not common but I certainly would not call them rare.

Much more common is where the seller suggests it possibly could be reblued and in fact, it's been blued and buffed completely smooth.

Not saying I would not buy one for a reasonable price but I don't find them personally worth a 200% premium... of course that is what makes us each different...

Just to keep things straight for the new guys.... "Salesman Samples" is what Roe Clark (deceased Savage historian and past Savage Arms Company employee) called the roll stamped eg's. Those eager to rewrite history, completely ignore that little factoid. After they were used as Salesman Samples...they were lotted to Spiegel. Finding an old Spiegel ad changes that none.
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
