Savage 22

I bought an old Savage .22 this weekend that the dealer had tagged as a Mod. 23 but anything I can find makes me think it's a Mod. 19 NRA thats been modified.
It has the old looking stock with finger grooves in it,(not a sporter stock from the pix I've found), no peep sight but looks to be drilled for one. It looks like its had a dovetail filed into it since under the open sight, ( not original), it says Sav.....NRA. The dots are where I think the dovetail was later filed in.
Plus I havn't found an indication there were any guns marked NRA that weren't mod. 19's.
Its kinda beat up oviously, but still a good accurate old fun gun I can refinish without hurting any value.
Any expert info will be appreciated.

I took it apart last nite to start the refinish process. It's actually in better shape than I first thought but still won't be hurt value-wise by doing so.
