Serial numbers through 566,000, which ended the year 1950, are dated by the serial number (as the savage database and several of my book indicated). Serial numbers over 566,000 are dated by the Lever Boss Code...as your SN is lower than 566,000 it is dated correspondingly....as made in 1941...and the appearance of the rifle supports that.
