10/2/23 – This is a scarce example of a U.S. marked Stevens Savage Model 77E riot shotgun, manufactured in the 1960’s. Beginning in 1963, the U.S. government purchased a total of 69,097 Model 77E riot shotguns from the Savage Arms Corporation for issue to the South Vietnamese Army; however, they were also widely used by U.S. Army and Marine units in Vietnam. Records indicate that 65,724 of the 69,097 Model 77E shotguns purchased under government contract were issued to the Republic of Vietnam or other allied forces. As a result, very few Model 77E shotguns returned from Vietnam, with estimates at only a few thousand. They have a shorter stock than other U.S. military shotguns as they were modified to accommodate South Vietnamese soldiers. Military models are parkerized with sling swivels and wooden stocks. The right side of the receiver is ‘U.S.’ marked, and ‘P’ proofs are present on barrel and receiver. The metal parts on this one have been refinished with almost no actual finish loss – just some light scuffs here and there. The butt stock is finish with a layer of lacquer. There is chipping and scratching in the finish throughout. Minty bore.
