I've got one from a friend's estate - the ones here supposedly were sent to Lever Arms in Vancouver as sales samples (late 1980s?)- I've heard somewhere between 20 and 100 total.

I've seen cases of consecutive No4 Savage rifles that came in at the same time as the early Belgian returns to Canadaicon.
