Larry, very nice 16 AE. Show us some pics of the forearm both outside and inside. A bird getter for sure! As to the dating of the gun Researcher may have more/better thoughts than myself but it has been shown that some of the published serial number dating is inaccurate. Given this gun has Philly stamping but your letter shows a 1931 shipment it could have been in progress/inventory when Savage took over in 1929 but not sold/shipped until 2 years later. Either way a great gun!!
