Scarce Factory Engraved Savage Model 1915 Semi-Automatic Pistol

Manufactured from only 1915 to 1917, the Model 1915 is the most rare of the Savage pocket automatics, with only about 6,502 manufactured in .32 ACP. On top of already being a scarce variation, this example was factory engraved and nickel plated, making it truly scarce. The top of the slide is marked with the standard two-line address, patent date, and caliber marking. It has approximately 75% coverage, factory type "C" engraving that was likely the work of Enoch Tue. The consignor notes that this example was restored by Steve Moeller. It is fitted with the standard blade and notch sights, grip safety, and a pair of smooth pearl grips with Savage medallions. Includes a modern custom hardwood case. Provenance: The Bailey Brower, Jr. Collection, author of “Savage Pistols”

ConditionFine, retains 90% of the period replated nickel finish with a few scattered patches of minor flaking showing a grey patina, and some of the engraving slightly softened. The grips are very fine with some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine with some scattered light handling/storage marks.
