Need Some Help Identifying Early Savage Lever Rifle

[Val]

Gentlemen,
I need some help identifying this early Savage lever action. It looks a lot like a Savge 99 with the rotary magazine but the lever is shaped different than my modell 99 which is a 1941 vintage. The rear of the stock also has a different shape to it. The seraial number on this rifle is 253XXX and its a 30-30. Above the 30-30 marking it says "Savage HI-PRESSURE STEEL. On the left side of the magazine is an engraving of a deer running in tall grass with the initials JJP engraved in fancy cursive letters. Would appreciate your help identifying this nice rifle.
Thanks

How does it compare to this Model 95?

Doing some more research, I found a web site where you plug in your serial numbers and it gives you the date of manufacture. According to this web site it's a Savage 99 manufactured in 1921. It has an old weaver 330 scope mounted on it. The stock looks identical to the model 95 posted by Siskiyou. The lever is the same but there is no screw or bolt on the top of the action as shown in the pictures.
