This Model 1899 shows scratches and blemishes to both the bluing and wood, consistent with an honest, well-used century-old sporting rifle.

About the Savage Model 1899 .250-3000: Introduced to showcase Charles Newton's groundbreaking .250-3000 Savage cartridge — the first commercial round to break 3,000 feet per second — this Deluxe takedown variant of Savage's revolutionary hammerless lever-action was produced for only seven years (1914–1921), making it one of the scarcer Model 99/1899 configurations. Your rifle, dating to 1916, was built just one year after this landmark cartridge was introduced, making it a genuine piece of early smokeless-powder sporting rifle history.
