They were refinished w/ Savage 2 line marking on top of slide removed & single line added on top of shroud on left side of rib. Savage intended to market them as a lot leaving top of rib available for distributor name. As these were reconditioned used pistols, they were given matte finish as opposed to original gloss finish.
