    1941 savage sniper questions

    I had this 1941 #4T savage for a long time.It was never matched with a scope.It has the S51 mark on butt.Has original matching savage 1941 barrel.All matching original savage wood.What is curious is that it also has enfield marks.The stamp on the receiver and bolt is the same as on my 1931 trials sniper and the crown over 13 stamp on the wrist of the butt is the same as on my 1931 trials rifle NOT converted to a sniper.Are these marks typical of early savage snipers??
    If it has both holland and holland and enfield marks, who done the conversion?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    H&H did the conversion. Enfield inspectors marks are on all original H&H conversions regardless of where they originated from.

    That's certainly an acceptance stamp in the wood, but could the marks on the bolt handle & receiver ring possibly be poorly applied London Proof House marks? They are exactly where I'd expect them to be.
    Yes, agreed it will be a H&H conversion.
