I dont know of a particular serial number breakdown for the Savage Model 29. A good rule of thumb for that model is that octagon barrels are pre-WW2, round barrels after. Value is based on condition. 10 with checkered wood & octagon barrels –serial numbers from 1027L to 332xxL. The L was added to the serial on Savage branded guns, a K was used on house brands and an M on Stevens, all these were in the same serial number sequence so the serial numbers reflect the total combined production of all the various versions, including house brands.
