And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Good luck finding one n 45acp. They only made a few for the army trials. They made a lot more in 32acp and in.380 but the 45 is now simply unobtainable.
Interesting little piece of metal art. Second place out of ? Wonder how many actually made it into circulation? (edited: 181 were made, tested and returned to Savage, then sold to the public. So, pretty rare) Interesting there are 27 stars on the flag. Would make it historically accurate in 1845. Not sure what that's about other than the printers license to 'make it fit and look good'. Depending on the time of the year in 1907, it could have been either 45 or 46 stars, so fitting in a 'bit' more stars could have been an issue for the engraver OR the printer.
I very much like the Savage 1907, though I've never seen a .45 version in person.
ReplyDeleteI want one. and I want a concours condition Astra.
ReplyDeleteFunny that more than a century later, Savage is making 1911s.

And, yeah, I would like to try a Savage 1907 too. Be interesting if someone decided to make one today - any patents have to have run out by now. :-)

ReplyDeleteI had one in .32 ACP. Complicated takedown and horrible heavy trigger.

Reminds me a little of a Japanese Nambu
ReplyDeleteAfter the misadventure with the Sig, maybe the Military should go back to this,
