Last week I read this Jack O’Connor article, and he mentions the Savage Model 1920. He said it was made only in 250/3000. My first centerfire was a Savage Model 110. It was a club, but your 1920 looks trim. O’Connor’s article has a lot of great history about gun companies and custom makers. https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/jack-oconnor-30-06/

Glasfurd’s second book on Indian Shikari showing his .250/3000 1920 Savage propped up against the large Sambhur stag he had just shot with it. Unfortunately as Imgur has just blocked its UK subscribers I cannot now do that and furthermore all Cable’s excellent pictures are now “content not viewable in your region”.
