Savage 101 for DUMMYS"!

[Mike Armstrong]

Garnett, there's an interesting thread on the "Savage Collectors" forum of the website www.24hourcampfire.com that shows good pictures of an NIB Savage 101 pistol that was made at Chicopee Falls as a sample or prototype marked "DUMMY" on the bottom of the butt.  Since you are the only collector I know of who cares about the 101, I thought you might want to take a look.

Respectfully,

Mike Armstrong

Mike, thanks for this info.  I will look at it.  Also, I am not the only one.... ...I have talked with one reader of my book who has one, and his box is completely different from the one I picture in my book.  So....there are at least two of us!     He was going to send me pictures of his box, but never did.  Thanks again for this info.  Best wishes, Garnett

Mike, I just looked at the site.  It is a really nice pistol and I feel, as does the owner, that it is very rare.  I would love to have one for my collection.  Thanks again for telling me about it!

I have now written a book on this little known pistol.  Details are in the "For Sale" section.
