Savage Model 1907 Serial Numbers Lookup Free. Posted on at 12:05 PM GMT+10:00 I had the pleasure of visiting the Victoria Museum archives in Melbourne and personaliy inspected this pisrol reputed to be serial #1.In close examination of the internal parts, and the overall engraving including the gold inlay, there is no question in my mind that this simply is not the lst serialized Savage produced and numbered,- Serial #1.It has the internal characteristics of a later modification, the engraving is certainly not by the hand of Enoch Tue who was Savage's in-house engraver, as the style is 'Germanic'.The serial number has been stamped thfrough the engraving, something I never have seen on any other Savage pistol.The members oif the Australian Gun Club couLd not have been more helpful and courteous, but I am afraid I left them with the information yhat while this pistol is stamped serial #1, it just isn't what it was perported to be.No one has any record of the 'original' #1, as existing, though Serial #2 is in an important collection in the U.S.Bailey Beower, Jr, Author, Savage Pistols
