I have my Grandfather's home defense handgun, a Savage model 1905 in original box with original cleaning brushes and manual. The handgun is in pristine condition unlike the one whose photo I included here. I don't believe he ever fired it and that it just sat in his desk for about 84 years.

Interestingly enough, this model went up against the Colt 45 ACP for the Colt .38 Service Revolver replacement and gave it a run for its money but it finally lost the M1911 title to the Colt.
Even Buffalo Bill had one!

So not only is it a family heirloom, but also a fascinating piece of history!
I have the same gun.
