Savage No.4 mk.1* with no proof marks?
I picked up a Savage no.4 mk.1* today and during clean up I found it has no English proof marks at all, military or commercial. It does have a few LB parts, triggergard, magazine and bolt ( both serialized to the rifle) but no Canadian marks either. Rest of the parts are Savage and it still has it's original finish, I'll call it blued since I can't remember the correct term ATM. It does have import marks so it went somewhere outside the U.S., what other countries were these sold/lent/given to?

Here's a couple of my 1942 Savage MkI*. The wood is birch.

P.S. I replaced the grey butt plate with a brass one and the battle sight with a ladder. And NO I didn't get rid of them - they are in a grease bag just in case they need to go back on. I just love the wood on this one and the bore is a spotless 2-groove.

Why is this? I have a No 4 Mk 1* that I have been told was made in Maltby England, how do I know for certain where it was made??

Simple........... you tell us what the marks are and we'll tell you where it was made

I have two Savage Mk.1s, not Mk.1*. Both have no proof marks and both are So. African property marked and both are in excellent condition. One has all S marked parts the other has a few non Savage small parts. One has import marks, the other doesn't
