Hello all,
New here. I just recently became interested in the vintage Savage handguns made in Utica NY. Being from upstate NY they just peaked my interest because of the local history. Today I found some at a local gun shop and ran across this interesting 1917. Or what seems to be a 1917. I was wondering if anybody may have any insight to a few things that caught my eye. The first being the serial number. A picture of it can be found in the attached album. I inked out the last 2 digits, but they were in the same format as the 3 that is shown in the pic. The two other interesting things that I noticed that were not common with the 1917 model is the rounded hammer and the savage logo facing in the wrong direction. Both of these things are shown in the second pic of the album. Any help making any sense of this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
