Not sure what your wanting to know about it,,, you know the model etc already. Pretty sure that if new in 73 it is considered a 99E Carbine, production years were 1960-1982.

It must have been a new old stock rifle or something custom made. Savage quit using the brass rotor and counter before then. My 1967 99E does not have those. What year was yours made? Look for the letter stamped on the lever boss and look for the date here.

After doing a little digging it sounds like it is a Savage 1895 75th Anniversary Commemorative model.
