Savage Serial Number Dates
Hi everyone new member here, i just came home from my local firearms show and purchased something there and could use some assistance determining what era its from and what the value may be. I can post pics if need need be. Its a.32 H&R 6 shot revolver Nickel or Chrome plated with hard black grips with 3' barrel and its in pretty nice condition. It is a break down type to reload. There is nothing written on the barrel itself such as caliber the only writing is stamped on the bridge of the barrel by the front sight.
The serial number under the strap is 5 digits with no letters the number is 84XXX. Any help determining era its from and an around figure for value would be greatly appreciated. Like i said before i can post pics of it if needed.
Hi there ive got a serial # number of a savage.300 lever 410367 what year is this and worth it has a stamp m or a w. Calhoun avatar. The rifle will date to 1941. Value will depend totally on what condition it is in as well as what model of Savage 99. Pictures are by far the best way for us to. Sep 14, 2009. Can I determine the date of manufacture from this letter? Do letter prefixes occur on other versions of the Stevens 311? I have seen Stevens 311s with no serial numbers at all. Can you make some sense out of Savage/Stevens/Fox/Springfield serial number usage that will help me to date my doubles and.
Thank You Oh also it is double action with exposed hammer. If it has no cartridge stamp on barrel it is pre 1905. Would need exactly what is stamped into the barrel rib (bridge) - full serial number will be found under the top strap when cylinder is removed (raise the latch - there may be a small button on left side of latch - if so, hold it in when you lift inside and outside latches and release when they are fully upward), then pull or unscrew cylinder from arbor. A couple pictures - especially CLEAR and in focus of the left side of the firearm and if possible the barrel rib roll stamp would be most helpful. Also, need a bit more real numbers in the serial number, xxx's don't show up in the research. Cpld Usb Blaster Driver. Thank you very much for the information so far and after i eat dinner i'm going to use a real camera (not my crappy cell phone one) it is exactly like the one pictured above except for 2 things.
Maybe their on the pistol in the pic you posted but i can't see. But there is a small lever half-round type piece that sticks out when i pull the hammer back and it looks like the trigger hits it to depress the hammer to fire. Also up front under the hinge theres piece that goes inbetween the hinge and it sticks out with a radius sticking out and the bottom of the piece is knurled. It works as a release for the shell extractor when opening the shell extractor moves out then once it hits that button the extractor spring loaded slams back down. I noticed it because when i had it open half way with the extractor coming out i pressed that little button and the extractor returned to its seated position in the cylinder.Also the front sight is a full arc with no flat on it. I paid $100.00 yesterday and the guy threw in a a box of 50 rounds.
Is that about average as far as price and value? I will definately be posting some better pics on here shortly and thank you very much for your help again. Yep - those are, in order - the single action sear trip lever and the automatic ejector interrupter. Those two pieces are missing on the example pictured - good catch.
I have pictures of other examples of the 2nd Model 1st Var. But they all have serial numbers starting with letters - I didn't want to confuse the issue by posting one of those. NOTE that your piece was made to handle black powder pressure curves! Here's two with all the parts attached: p.s. $100 is not a bad price for one of these antiques in good to excellent condition!
The H&R 'SELF LOADING'.32 ACP was in production from circa 1914 to 1924 and approx. 34,500 pieces were produced during that time. Assuming production was somewhat even for each year of production (an unlikely assumption but there aren't any records available at this time) your piece would have been made about 1/2 way through the period - so lets say 1919 or there abouts. This gun was fairly expensive at the time - and many were not sold during the production period - they remained in the catalogues up 'til 1940 and were probably sold beyond that date.
I've shot two of mine - they work well with round nose FMJ ammo, are fairly accurate and always attract some attention - kind of unique. • The Firearms Forum is on online community for all gun enthusiasts. Join us to discuss firearms of all kinds, gun accessories, legal issues and more.

Did the Savage historian I referred you to not work out? Callahan, Savage Arms Historian 53 Old Quarry Road Westfield, MA 01085Thanks. I do have Mr. Callahan's contact info that you mentioned in my other post about Savage shotguns, but I am not going to give up just yet.
At some point, I will probably pay the research fee to have Mr. Callahan interpret my Model 720's serial number. What I'm really trying to do is eventually meet some online gun hobbyists who have similar interests in Savage pre-war shotguns. I could learn much more from the folks like myself who enjoy these relics, and like the Kar98k and P08 collectors look to 'shared data' from a group. Not saying I won't pursue Mr.
Callahan's resources for Savage historical data; I just want to first establish a conversation with guys who collect and shoot these smoke poles. That being said, I greatly appreciate your reminder of this gentleman's contact information. He will be getting a serial number research request from me in the near future.
