NOS Savage knurled Safety Lever


Recommended Posts

I am posting this for a friend of mine. I have it in my possession. It is a Savage marked, knurled, dulite finished, safety lever for the Savage 1928 TSMG. It has the hole in the lever.

 

PM me with offers if interested. I am not sure what this is worth, so all the experts out there please chime in.

 

(There are no scratches on this, the thing in the hole is Flash reflection.)

Sold pending funds. However, I would like to know from the experts out there what the fair market value on this should be at this time.

 

I will pm all those who made offers. My friend thanks you. I may be able to move some more of his bits and pieces. It'll be a little while before I see him again.

 

S/Fi,

What did you sell it for? As I say all of the time the value of something at any

given time is what somebody is willing to pay for it. A guy wanting this to correct

or complete an early gun is going to pay a lot more than a guy just looking to

have some extra parts.

This is a rare part. Other than on a gun I do not recall the last time I saw one

for sale. If/when I did it was here or on Gunbroker or EBay. A standard flat lever

safety is what? $25-$35? So you'd be throwing this away for $50. If a guy has a

$30,000 early Savage but with the later Un-knurled safety, what's this worth to

him to correct his gun? And what effect on the selling price of his gun if it has

The WW2 safety vs. this correct knurled safety? Answer: A LOT!

How much is the buyier going to try to knock down the price of that $30,000

gun because it's got the wrong safety? Where is he going to get one? Go to

Walmart? Watch Gunbroker and EBay for years? Put in this context and there is

your answer.

The shame of it is that a lot of parts like this are probably sitting in desk drawers, never to be seen again.

 

Think about it - what happened to all the tons of milsurp gun parts that were sold for cheap back in the old days?

 

Certainly all those millions of parts didn't get worn out and replaced.

 

They're sitting in boxes in attics and basements and maybe once in a while some widow throws them away.
