Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Model 1895 info.....

Do we have any info indicating the relative rarity of the three most common Model 1895 barrel types i.e. 26" round, octagon, and half and half?

Currently, A & B at around 38% and C at around 17%. Earlier count had the A at 33% and the B at 45%.

...and Short Rifles at 2 each.

If you have added a 1895 I would like to add the info to my data. I'm at a little under 400 now.

Interesting. 400 data points of total production of 5000-6000 is probably statistically significant.
A's - ~2000
B's - ~2000
C's - ~1000
other - ~500

Has anyone had/taken the opportunity to analyze the Savage/Marlin ledgers 1895-99, A, B & C breakdown? Clark, Callahan, Murray,..?

I don't know if you have mine: SN 6226, octagon

But what about the SRC's?

As I recall, less than 100 SRC's.

We know that there were a few less than 100 muskets make for the Trial. So maybe another 50 (I only know of 2 so might be a lot less) for commercial sales.

I think there must have been a few more than 100 SRC as I have info on about 20. Regardless, the D & F's are a pretty hard to find item.

Thanks for the serial, Dave. I didn't have that one.

Rick, I think Roe counted the engraved 1895's but that is about it, that I know of.
