Model 1914 date of manufacture

Just obtained an old rusty Model 1914 Savage 22 ser # 18518 . Trying to find date of manufacture. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Can't help much on an exact date, I have information on only two 1914's and the closest is under 1200 serial number (numbers started at 1000 so it was one of the first 200) and it was sent to the warehouse early March of 1914 - yours would have been between that date and probably whenever they stopped civilian production to do WWI contracts for which I can only guess to be sometime in ~1915 or 1916~.
