Found old guns at dad's house

[Fineglock9]

So to save everyone the background story, here's what I have.

Savage Arms Corp. .303 lever action
Made in UTICA, NY

High Pressure steel # 233077 Only # on gun, also stamped inside wooden forgrip stock. Has a little hole in the left side of the action and when you load rounds in it it turns a wheel telling you how many rounds are in the gun. My dad said he got it in 1950 and it was old then. Last date on it was 1909?

__________________________________________________ ______
I also found a break action shotgun that had this stamped on it.
HARVARD THE GEO. WORTHINGTON CO. CLEVELAND, OHIO
the # on the other side was # 265103 with a 12 next to a G in a diamond? I guess it means 12 guage?

Caan anyone Date these guns, tell me what they're worth if anything?

You have a Savage Model 99 chambered in .303 Savage. Your number would make it a 1921 vintage. The number should be stamped on the inside of the butt plate and the butt stock. With the fore- end removed you should find a letter stamped on the front of the receiver. That will tell you what version of the 99 you have. The magazine is a brass rotary type with shell counter. The front receiver ring should be marked Savage 99 unless a scope mount is covering it, then I will puke. Same goes if has sling swivels.
IMO the 99 was a head its time and I prefer the 99 over the Winch. 94 and I love Winchesters.

It looks just like the two on the links, but the one i have has a round barrel not a hexagon shape to it

[Fineglock9]

with foreend removed, no stamp on reciever, also no scope mount,
just stamped serial # in the wooden forend

No savage 99 marked anywhere
Also have an Original box of .303 rounds that where with it when dad bought it he said

People here get worked up over mag and clip. I get bent when when I hear some one say hex barrel! Hex is six sided you see hex signs on barns. I have seen a lot of octagon barrels with eight flats, but never a hex barrel!

Well then, the Savage 99 on the receiver started in 1920 going by Doug Murray's book. Sounds like you have a Savage 1899. Can you post a picture?

Is it a takedown model? On takedowns, you can unscrew the barrel from the receiver when you remove the forend. The 99's featured a rotary magazine, and were well made.
