Savage O/U ?

My wife has a Savage 24E-DL that her grandfather left her.It is 22 Win magnum over 3" chambered 20 ga.It has a fox engraved on left side with a pheasant on the right,gold color trigger,with selector on hammer.IT has Savage Arms Westfield Mass stamped on the barrel.There is another stamping inside the breech of PE (looks like an E but the top bar of the E appears to curve down like it may have been a B but was stamped incorrectly) Anyone have any history on this gun or approx. value? Bluing is aprox. 85 to 90% the wood is maybe 75% with a few light scratches. It is an excellent shooting little gun.Thanks for any info.

I can't find a listing for a 24E-DL, but the 24D had the game scene that you're describing up until 1974. Blue list one in 90% as being valued at about $250, but the 22mags bring a 20% premium over that. Sounds like your's might be a little fancier species.

I have the exact same shotgun that my uncle gave me back in the 60's. you described mine exactly. i never could find a serial number other than some numbers inside the receiver. i hunt turkeys with it and have taken 3 with it using 3 inch 20 gauge magnum with number 2 shot. it shoots great.
certainly not my main shotgun but fun nonetheless. i would value it around 250 dollars also.
