![]() The 1899A, the most common of all the 1899’s, it’s 26” round barrel was accented buy a crescent butt plate (special order stocks were also available but for sanity’s sake we’ll go with the average) and pointed pads on the side of the stock, these pointed pads were common on all the 1899’s and 99’s except for some of the later model H’s. ![]() If you ever get a chance to go through a vintage 1900 Savage catalog you’ll notice there are no model designations but are discerned by barrel lengths and wood differences. The early Savage rifles were never given a lettered model designation, they were put into this system to try to put an understanding in what you have later on in production. I’ll have to explain the transitional rifles here as well. We’ll try to get through the early 1899’s without you confusing to much. ![]() Underneath the barrel you’ll most likely find a J or JM signifying that it was made by John Marlin who built the first 5000 rifles for John Savage. The forearm is very slender and rises to the receiver very sharply. Well, where do I begin? I guess we’ll start low and work our way up to the last 99 offerings.įirst off is the model 1895, this is an easy one to identify, it will have a serial number under 10.000 and the pads on the sides of the receiver will be rounded instead of pointed like the model 1899’s and 1895’s.
