Savage 99's (and other Savage firearms), made from 1949 thru 1970, had a Letter Date Code stamped into the receiver bottom ( just ahead of the Model 99's lever), and is often seen referred to on Model 99's as the "Lever Boss Code" (LBC).
The Letter "A" started off 1949, "B" in 1950, etc, etc, etc - all denoting the year of manufacture.
(the letters "O" & "Q" were not used.)
