In 1937, Savage introduced a new series of Savage shotguns, the 220 hammerless single barrel, the 320 side-by-side double and the 420/430 over/under. The Savage catalogues state they would begin shipments of the 420/430 in 12-gauge by May 1st and the 20-gauges by September 1st. The 320 double was only listed that one year. Also, that one year 1937, Savage's subsidiary down at Chicopee Falls, Mass. offered a Stevens 500 side-by-side double Skeet Gun with a beavertail forearm and a non-selective single trigger. By 1938 the 420/430 could be had in 12-, 16-, and 20-gauges, extra sets of barrels and a non-selective single trigger was offered. In addition to the fancy crotch walnut, the 430 also had a Jostam Anti-Flinch recoil pad. The 420/430 remained thru the 1941 price list, but were gone by the 1942.
