I have a Meriden 12ga pump and the Savage 1921 appears quite alike.
The Savage being designed and pat by Art.Savage' sons the other Meriden pat being sold off in auction may make some sense that the pump shotgun design could have ended up with Savage after WW1.
Often compared to the Win M12, it is more a hybrid of a Remington M10 bolt with a Win12 carrier & side ejection.
That is interesting, I have a Savage 1921 and have never found much about their history.
