Factory Engraved Savage Model 99K Deluxe Lever Action Takedown Rifle in .300 Savage Offered here is a desirable factory engraved Savage Model 99K takedown rifle, manufactured in 1939 according to the production chart on page 134 of the book "A Collector's Guide to the Savage 99 Rifle" by David Royal. The 99K rifles were originally introduced in 1926 and were discontinued in 1940, essentially a 99G with refinements. This 1939 production example was most certainly engraved by William Gough, the head of engraving at Savage Arms that was responsible for engraving 99Ks between c. 1930-1940, per page 299 of "Savage Model 1895, 1899 & 99 Rifles Volume 2, Engraved and Special-Feature Models" by David Royal, in which various examples of factory engraved 99K rifles are pictured throughout the book. It features a "selected" American walnut pistol grip stock and Schnabel tip forearm with special fancy checkering on the grip, panels and forearm, and is artistically engraved with floral motifs on both sides of the receiver, zigzag borders and line patterns on top of the barrel chamber and receiver, and front hinge area ahead of the lever, with the "action carefully fitted and stoned" (as advertised in period Savage catalogs), a lightweight barrel with raised beaded blade front sight and dovetail mounted flip-up leaf notch rear sight on the barrel, and a Lyman flip-up adjustable peep sight mounted on top of the receiver. Barrel markings with Savage Arms Utica, N.Y., address, cartridge counter visible on the left of the receiver, right hand thumb safety, and cocking indicator at the top rear of the receiver, with a serrated steel buttplate with Savage "SVG" circled logo. Matching visible serial number "387321" on bottom of the receiver, inside the forearm channel, rear surface of the buttstock and interior of the buttplate. Swivel bases on buttstock and forearm.
