Ok, I am new here and need some help. I bought this pistol today because it was just awesome looking, and I really like Savage. I am assuming it is a model 1907. The serial number puts it at 1917. I have not been able to find any other ones like it, so I am not sure if it is a factory nickel job or not. I have read a few places that there were nickel guns from the factory, but they are pretty rare. Any information you all can provide would be greatly appreciated.
