Jeed,

Thanks so much for the very informative article on the Savage 1907 & 1917 Models.
I just recently bought a 1917 & a few things didn't seem right, to the point where I was convinced I had been ripped off.

There were the more ample serrations & hammer-like cocker on it, but it came with a 1907 magazine that wouldn't lock into place.
Further inspection & research revealed no markings on the frame denoting it as a "Savage Model 1917" & the grips had no screws in them --- exactly as one would expect to see on the 1907.

The pictures you showed in posts #3 & #5 gave me so much insight and relief --- I was convinced that I'd had a cobbled-together amalgamation of different model-year pistols fobbed off on me.

Again, thank you so very. very much for such a concise & detailed write-up on these beautiful pistols which were truly ahead of their time.

Ivan
