Savage Fox SP guns? #490904 09/25/17 07:44 PM

Not much online to compare to and the Blue Book has nothing I can find in my issue. Any help would be appreciated. Last edited by Muskylew; 09/25/17 10:27 PM.

I had a friend who owned one of these with 30" barrels and a Kautsky single trigger. He sold it a little over a year ago for around $3500. His gun and a SPE that Jay Schacter had for sale a couple of years back are the only two of this grade I have ever seen for sale.

Early SP-/SPE-Grade guns had absolutely plain blued receivers. The March 1, 1934, price lists added a "Fox Special" Skeet Grade with straight grip, beavertail and skeet boring. For 1935 the SP-/SPE-Grade got a bit of engraving, and the Skeet Grade became the SP-/SPE-Grade Skeet & Upland Game Gun with quite a bit of scroll engraving. Savage apparently had more of these flat-sided receiver forgings than they could sell as SP-/SPE-Grade guns, so made up some batches of flat-sided Fox-Sterlingworths.

I owned one of those very late flat sided Sterlingworths. The engraving, which follows the outline of the bosses on a Fox action, was there. But the bosses themselves were not.

Does anyone have information on how many of the 12ga models there were in the SPE, or SP grades? I only see the 16ga and 20ga mentioned in McIntosh's book.
