I think there is a good chance it is factory engraved.It looks just like this advertisement.My gun has a straight grip,plain walnut but the checkering matches also.Sending for my letter.

1899 Savage

.
Found a really nice 1899 B at the Novi show. Caliber 38-55 with a 26 “ octagonal barrel.Built in 1904 it appears to be perhaps a deluxe model as is nicely checkered and engraved. I will be getting a letter for this one.

Cabela’s Dundee,Michigan

Stopped in yesterday to find that their Gun Library closed last March.Used guns are no longer on the floor but behind the counter.And I didn’t see very many of them either. Too bad.

Re: 12 gauge Sterlingworth Ser# 50040?

If you aren’t too emotionally attached to it I wager there would be at least a couple of folks here interested in it if you would ever consider selling. Hope this is isn’t violating forum guidelines.

Re: Early A. H. Fox

As long as the barrels are not damaged on the muzzle end I think you would have a hard time finding anyone here who would advise trimming off those six inches.Have the wood repaired or replaced if not possible and enjoy your gun.As stated above those 32” barrels are sweet!

Re: Cased Lefever Upland 12

A fine addition to any gun cabinet. Be careful....the Lefever bug is really hard to shake. No known cure.
