99 Confusion on Model

[rbtreasures]

Been Collecting 99's for many years but just getting time to classify them.

I have a 99 That I have classified as H Reconditioned 1933 But the Barrel Address indicates 1946 to 1960. so Assume replacment barrel??
How should I classify this one. and what does this do to the Value??

1933 is probably about right as they went from stamping them Model 1899 to Model 99 in the early-mid 1920's and the serial # is pre WWII. On the barrel I would assume it's a factory rebarrel. Value-wise it's hard to say as it's been refinished, rebarreled and D&T'd. I'm no expert on the 99 market, but I'd classify it as a solid shooter that would probably fetch somewhere in the $500-750 range as there's no real collector value left in it for the purists. The caliber is the only think keeping the price that high IMO as if it was a .300 Sav it would probably be a $500-600 gun tops.

These days 99's just don't seem to be fetching as high of prices that they were a few years ago.

I would have to agree completely
