Savage Stevens Model 30 22 rimfire

I just picked up an interesting version of this model. Full octagon barrel with gold plated lever and hammer with everything else being blued. The serial number starts off with "LTD" followed by a 4 digit number. I contacted the factory and the "LTD" does indeed stand for 'limited." Their info shows it was made in 2001 but they have no other knowledge about it. Apparently, it was made for resale for one particular vendor or to commemorate something or someone. It was not a cataloged item. It is not case hardened nor does it say "Favorite" on the side of the receiver. It has a relatively straight plastic butt plate. It has a medallion showing Joshua Stevens with "Father of 22 Hunting." Appears to be unfired. My research shows a multitude of variations of this gun produced over the years but I have not come across any reference to this one. Any info would be most appreciated!
