.303 British, 25.25" barrel, S/N 39C6868. Blued finish, hard wood stock. Marked with the Savage "S" in a circle behind the triggerguard, an "S" on the receiver ring, upper barrel band and bottom of the forend. Receiver also marked US PROPERTY, with a flaming bomb inspection on the receiver ring, bolt and bolt handle. Receiver ring is marked 1943 and with IAG ALEX import mark. Matching serial numbers on receiver ring and bolt, receiver and stock not numbered, magazine mismatched. Includes an "S" marked No4 spike bayonet with scabbard and frog. Savage produced No4 rifles on contract for the British government between 1941 and 1944, with their output being the smallest of all No4 makers. The US Property marks were related to the Lend Lease program, allowing the US government to supply "US" property to the British under that special arrangement while remaining technically "neutral" prior to the US entering WWII.
