When stationed in Germany in the early fifties my father had his Savage 99 engraved. I think the result is quite satisfying, turning an ugly duckling of a rifle into something that even has a certain appeal.



The oak leaf motif on the stock seems natural.



The stag is engraved on the left side...


..the wild boar on the right.



A little inlay on the pistol grip cap.



I think the overall result is a trim little lever action with a style you do not often see in the USA.

beautiful rifle, thank you for sharing...my dad has the same rifle, would love to turn it into something like that!
