Those Savages are cool little pistols. IIRC there's no screws in them, they go together like a Chinese puzzle. The grip panels slide in and are held there by friction. They are also easily damaged and a real PITA to replace if they break.

I liked the one I had but it had a bulged barrel. You couldn't see it looking down the barrel, you had to remove the slide to feel it. I sold it with full disclosure...

I'm not familiar with either one of them.

Yeah, Arthur Savage was a brilliant designer who was ahead of his time. I don't know if I'd put him in the same echelon as JMB but if I didn't, he'd only be a half step below...

I'm actually interested in the top break H&R. I have a friend whose father had one in his collection when he passed away. She said I would be first on the list to buy it when they get around to selling the items they don't want. I don't think they're particularly valuable, probably $200-250 in 90% condition.

A thread by a guy who's writing a book about H&R:
