Description:
RARE HAMMERLESS GRIP SAFETY SAVAGE MODEL 1915 .32 ACP WITH “WESTLEY RICHARDS & Co LONDON W” AGENT MARKINGS, #134XXX, ONLY MADE N VERY LIMITED NUMBERS FROM 1915-1916! This is the first Savage auto pistol I’ve seen with British agent markings and two tiny proof marks on the barrel and one on the top  left rear of the slide.  Westley Richards & Co., like Holland and Holland, Purdey and a few other firms were known for manufacturing and selling only the finest firearms of the day. Obviously, this one was imported by them for sale through their London store. This model was made during the middle of England’s involvement in World War I and quite possibly it was purchased as the personal sidearm of an officer. This was a common practice at the time. This is the first Savage pistol I’ve seen with markings like this. The Westley Richards stamping is very small and located on the left side of the frame just below the slide. Overall this pistol is in excellent condition retaining nearly all the bright original blue with only some of the most minor edge wear and a few small spots of blue flaking to dull on the bottom of the barrel. All the Savage markings are sharp and clear, grips are excellent, mechanics are tight and the bore is fine with maybe a touch of frost. Retains nice case colors on the trigger and also retains the correct magazine which is specific to this model only- many are found with altered Savage magazines intended for other models- original M-1915 magazines are easy to spot as they have a special notch cut downward from the front top right side of the magazine. A rare gun by itself, but really intriguing with Westley Richards & Co. markings!
