i have what i think is an older savage mod. 24 - 22/410
24" barrel, marked "MODEL 24' with no letter designation right side of frame
marked "22 LONG RIFLE" top of 22 barrel
marked
SAVAGE
SAVAGE ARMS CORPORATION
CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U. S. A. left side of frame
barrels soldered full length
no letter designation. no date code. no serial number
wood stock no checkering (refinished a very nice blond walnut)
does have scope tracks
overall very good shape
anyone got any idea of it's age? value?

It does sound like you have an early gun.

If that is indeed an M, then your gun was made in 1961. The numbers are not significant.
