No.4 MkI* Savage

[tiriaq]

Savages made in '41 and '42 were dated. Not after that. The rifle passed through Parker Hale's hands at some time. Maybe when it was sold of as surplus. Many rifles had the US PROPERTY mark removed.

You may be very well correct. I have another No.4 Savage with S stamped in three or four places and stamped US PROPERTY. The one I'm referring to does not look like US PROPERTY was removed. The receiver is in excellent condition. If US PROPERTY was removed wouldn't there be signs of the removal on the receiver?

PS Tiriaq,

I am going to advertise this rifle on Gunpost.ca...Would I be calling it a Savage No.4 be a misrepresentation? I certainly do not want to advertise a rifle as being something that it is not.

Thanks,
MB

Savage No. 4’s can be found dated 1943 on the receiver or wrist
