NB - EXCELLENT- near new condition 95% - 98%, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing near perfect (some wear at muzzle or sharp edges can be expected).

In the accompanying letter addressed to Savage expert and author Bailey Brower noted arms historian Roe Clark states, "This rifle was assembled from parts I located at the factory in 1980. As you note, i was unable to locate a medallion for the stock, which didn't worry me too much. I purchased this rifle from the factory March 10 1980...This rifle remained in my possession until i finally disposed of it August 10, 1996." The included Massachusetts Department of Public Safety Customer Record indicates the rifle was owned by Roe Clark. This is certainly a one-of-a-kind commemorative Savage rifle made more special by being owned by a well respected arms historian. Provenance: The Bailey Brower, Jr. Collection, author of “Savage Pistols”
