Wish I could see the top of the breechbolt, as I think the seller is clueless on the model Savage he has! I can see it's a very early gun with that patent date, and it's also got the squared opening in the receiver for the rear of the breechbolt to seat into. My money is on it being a model 1895, and not a model 1899.
Guessing when savvy Savage collectors see this auction, and realize it's a model 1895 the bidding will go crazy, as an 1895 is much more desirable than an 1899.
