Savage Marking Check

[SpikeDD]

What establishes that this is a Savage-Stevens marking?

Wow...how did I know that was coming? Ok.... In my first post you can quote me as posting... "For obvious reasons, these markings don't appear to fit the familiar Savage square "5" in a full box or corner-less box found on the majority of Savage rifles". The "don't" bit indicates I am suggesting this is NOT a Stevens-Savage mark.

In my second post you can quote me as posting... "Clearly, it is different than the known Stevens Savage mark common to these rifles."

Also...

"

A subcontractor mark seems to be the most likely answer as I think most will agree it is not Stevens Savage.

....More to the point... " it is NOT Stevens Savage.

So...let me ask you, which parts am I establishing that this is in fact a Stevens Savage part?
