Savage No. 4 Mk I (T)

[Tom Jackson]

I recently acquired a Savage No. 4 MK1 (T) Serial No. OC3695 with 1941 dated No. 32 MK. I scope No. 7615 with sunshade. The scope serial number is stamped on the stock wrist and the scope mount is marked: OC3695. The underside of the stock has the S51 Holland & Holland conversion marking. The forearm and bolt are stamped with the rifle serial number. The rifle is complete with a scope can with the rifle serial number and scope number on the inside. The left side of the receiver flat does not have the "T" marking following the Savage marking nor is there a "TR" mark on the butt socket. The receiver has the bolt head release located behind the charger bridge and the bolt has the rounded rimmed cocking piece. The bolt release and cocking piece mean the rifle is a MK I rather that MKI* correct? All of the rifle components appear to have Savage markings. The rifle appears to have a four groove barrel. A friend owned this rifle for many years - there is not much information available on scoped Savage No.4 MK I (T) rifles. I understand they are scarce. Does anyone have any information concerning markings, number of rifles converted or survival rate?
