The accompanying letter from arms historian Roe Clark states factory records confirm this rifle as a "special grade" Model 45 in .300 Savage and that it was consigned to key accounts (Abercrombie & Fitch, A.F. Stoeger and Bacharach Rosin) from 1931 to 1937. The receiver and metal around the magazine cutout are fully engraved with floral scrollwork on a punch dot background. Gold line borders accent the scrollwork on the receiver. The left side of the receiver has "SAVAGE/SUPER SPORTER/14000" in gold and oak leaves and acorns in gold at each end of the engraved moose game panel scene (a moose in a mountain scene). A wedge of scrollwork accented with a gold inlaid band appears on the barrel at the breech. A blank banner is engraved on the trigger guard. The bottom of the magazine is also fully engraved. The barrel has the two-line Utica address, Lyman beaded blade front sight on a serrated ramp and two leaf rear sight. The highly figured deluxe pistol grip stock features multi-point checkering, ebony forend cap, sling eyelets and serrated factory steel buttplate.
