Here's my father's old Model 99 chambered in 300 Savage. I tried to date it but it has a very low # that dates it as a Model 1895. There is no stamped letter on the lever. Any input regarding this example would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some pictures. It also has an unusual trigger pad. My father never did any modifications to it but maybe a previous owner did. I believe he got it in the late 60's-early 70's.
