Documented Factory Engraved Savage Leader Grade Model 1899 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter

The included factory letter from Stevens, Savage, and Fox historian Roe S. Clark confirms the serial number, caliber, barrel profile, (B) engraving, (B) checkered pistol-grip stock and January 28, 1905 date of shipment to Shoverling, Daly & Gales of New York. Features a German silver beaded blade front and Marbles filler block in the rear sight dovetail, and standard barrel markings. The receiver has factory "B" grade engraving with game scene vignettes of a doe on the right and a buck on the left surrounded by fine American scroll. The upper receiver tang is fitted with a Lyman adjustable rear peep sight. Full blue finish with polished bolt and casehardened lever. Fancy American walnut Schnabel forearm and pistol grip buttstock with factory "B" carved checkering and casehardened crescent buttplate.

ConditionVery fine. 95% plus professionally restored blue finish remains with sharp recut engraving, some small nicks, and traces of light edge wear. The casehardened lever and buttplate show an attractive mix of original colors and dove gray patina with light handling marks. The refinished wood has freshened checkering, some slightly uneven borders and small over cuts but is otherwise very fine with attractive color and figure. Mechanically excellent.
