1907 Savage

[Gregmk]

Found this while snooping in the pawn shops $300 out the door.

Nice score Gregmk! Is it 32 or 380. My book says they were made until 1917. Book says the grips alone are selling for good money. Sure does look well made.

It's been awhile that I've looked at these in detail, but that seems to be a very nice specimen for a really good price.

Savage used to have the best deal on history letters in the business; I think I got my 1907 lettered for $25 back about ten years ago when John Callahan was still the historian. I think it's gone up quite a bit.

This is the .32 ACP version. From the looks of the slide serrations, I'm thinking it's just prior to 1919. I still have to check the serial #

I had a nickle plated one for a while neat little gun accurate too. The only issue with mine was if you fully loaded the magazine it would jam leave two rounds out ran fine. $300 was a good deal on that one.

Nicely done,
They are a hoot to shoot. Keep an eye on the front sight blade. They have a tendency to become loose and depart the barrel.

Many made their way overseas in WWII. Once in a " blue moon" one will show up in an Officers or NCO's personal WWI collection.

Love those little Savages. The Bailey Brower book is a great read on them.

Looks like a 1907 with a 1917 hammer (cocking piece).
