Item Interest: Average
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 257
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Manufactured from only 1915 to 1917, the Model 1915 is the most rare of the Savage pocket automatics, with only about 3,900 manufactured in .380 ACP. The top of the slide is marked with the standard two-line address, patent date, and caliber marking, while the left of the frame has the Savage trademark and the retailer mark "WESTLEY RICHARDS & Co. LONDON W." It is fitted with the standard blade and notch sights, grip safety, and checkered hard rubber grips with Savage logos.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 80% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina with a series of minor tool marks near the grip safety pin. The grips are fine with some scattered light handling marks and otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
