I have a 1934 RS, a beautiful gun. Bluing is a nice dark blue including the lever consistent with the rest of the gun. Certainly not case colored. Is that an indication of a reblue? I thought all savage levers are case colored. Thanks.

The lever should be case hardened. Here’s a nice example on a 1933 99RS.

That answers my question Keith. Thanks.

Any 1934 RS ain't a bad gun

Good to hear from you treeman…

My uncle crewed on a Savage 99R in WWII.

Just funnin'. Glad you walked in the door with an RS in your hand!
