Savage 99 .22 takedown from Mantons, Calcutta
29/09/11 01:03 AM

Hi chaps

This is my first posting, so excuse all the mistakes which follow.

I currently own a Savage 99 takedown in .22 Savage High Power. The serial number dates it to 1933. It is in its original case, and was supplied by Mantons of Calcutta. I know the name of the Scottish Indian Army officer who brought it back to Britain in 1947 when India gained its independence, but am wondering if the original records of Mantons of Calcutta still exist.

Before you ask it shoots very well, with 1.5" groups at 100 yards using the open sights, and is easy to reload, using S&B components.

Now I need to work out how to add a photo...
