Manufactured c. 1914-1915, the top of the slide is marked with the two-line address, patent date, and caliber, which on this Issue 1907-13 Modification No. 2 lacks the "9 MM" notation. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, and a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Savage logos. This example is pictured on p. 91 of "Savage Pistols by Bailey Brower, Jr., where it is used as a typical example of this variation. Provenance: The Bailey Brower, Jr. Collection, author of “Savage Pistols”

Exceptionally fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina, primarily at the muzzle and on the grip straps. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
