I was told it was a 99R, but I don't think so. It has a Utica NY address. Serial number 445681. It has a schnabel forearm and gold inlayed "engraving" with a bear head on the sides. Chambered in 300 Savage. Pic in reply below.
Thanks!
your ser.# puts it in 1946-47 range. My guess is a EG
Couldn't do much better than that one for your first 99!! Very Nice!! Look's like an EG but know nothing about the engraving!!
Yeah, I just had a guy contact me out of the blue and asked if I'd be interested in buying any of his dad's guns who recently passed away. This is one of 11 that I bought. Spent way more money than I should have, but there was just too many cool items. That's what threw me for a loop though, because I don't know anything about Savages. And it looked like it was made yesterday not over 70 years ago. Too bad the recoil pad was put on.
It's a model 99 EG but thats not factory engraving. it was done aftermarket but a nice job none the less.
Savage- "never say never".
