The deputy that let me handle it said it had been owned/confiscated from George Moran, as he owned property nearby. Sure....
Anyway, lets see if I can describe it. Arthur, you'll have to help me. Seemed to be in pretty good overall shape, though the buttstock relase button was gone and replaced with a screw. Nickel oiler. Matching serial numbers. 6XXX. Bbl fins are squared off. Cutts, well, I dunno what would be expected. Did have the bullet logo on one side, Diamond top. Savage nickel bolt and Blish (what does that mean?), one piece actuator. I don't recall seeing any marks on the gun, like proof marks, save for an alignment mark near the bbl and JHB. Knurling all way around; hole in the safety but not in the mag release. Flat ejector.

Is there anything about this gun that might be gleaned from the serial number? They asked I not post the serial, and I would hate to get scooped by any of you guys;-).
What are my odds for purchasing such a weapon? I'd like to have my ducks in a row before I even make an offer. They'd probably laugh at me anyway, but it is just sitting there gathering dust.
How does one find out whether it is transferrable?
Value?
Condition?
Am I crazy?
Gotta go cut grass. Will check back later!
