Can't see the pictures.
But if you found a couple old mid century shotguns new in the box I'd say you did pretty darn good, pending price.
Take a look at this and see if it helps with posting pictures...

I think the pictures will work we bought them from a gentle man in his seventies whose dad had a hardware store in new York closed it down many years ago he has them stored unopened and did not want them any more I believe the store was closed in the 50s
Wow, those are nice, you won't find them like that anymore.
Curious as to how much you paid for the pair?
there is one more 20 im going to try to get
is there a way to date these I don't want to open the 94 but I assume they are from the same year reallt green on the old savage I have one I hunt with but its a little rough
Ya, there is a way. If they were made in Utica I wouldn't be able to date them but I see by the boxes they were made at the Chicopee plant so I should be able to date them.
Just let me know the serial numbers, if there earlier than when they started to stamp the serial numbers then I'll need the date code. It's a small oval stamp on the gun with a number and a letter inside of it.
Mad Dog the small oval mark is 4F
So it was made in 1954, very nice. I know a lot of collectors that would love to get their hands on those.
What you want to have when you try to post a picture will look like this:Quote:

A 20 guage 220A is a SWEET little gun, especially in that kind of shape! But IMO a 12 guage 94 (or 220) is a wicked kicker unless you use very light loads, or get a Savage "FourTenner" insert barrel for it.
I like those "FourTenners" in lightweight 12s, unless you're huntin' big stuff like phez, turkeys, ducks,geese, or coyotes.
