99's chambered in 358 were all post 1955, and came in several models;
Pre-1 million ser # (lever safety) could be an EG (with the schnabel forend), or an F (with the barrel boss at the rear sight dovetail)
post 1 million ser# (slide safety on the rear tang) could be an F (as above), or a C (clip model), or DL (with a raised comb), or A (finger grove in forearm), or E (with a lever safety, and impressed checkering)
No mater which model he's got, it's a sure-fire venison-getter!
