I'm on my annual trip to Wisconsin, on my search for old guns. I visit my oldest best friend for a few days in Washburn, way up Nort der hey on Lake Superior. Here's my report from today:
Sully and I went to Superior and the first stop, and the best stop, was Superior Shooters supply. They had a nice selection of old, used stuff to look through. Found a Savage 99 in .300 but is was D&T'd and kind of junky!! Then, in one of the out of the way racks I spy another Savage. Look at the tag and it says .38-55!! I did a double take, yes it was a .38-55,, one of my rail guns I figured I'd never own because they are rare, discontinued in 1914, and pricey! Talk about sticker shock, and yeah I was shocked, 'cause it was a four followed by two zeros. ONLY TWO ZEROS!! SOLD!!
I have been searching for one for years! Serial # dates at 1908!! I'm drinking a Leinies right now to celebrate!!
