I would like to say Hello to everyone here. A fellow I met while looking at a 99 told me about this site. My father had a love for the 99's and he passed that love onto me. When my father was alive he would buy a lot of the 99's when he found them for sale, and I started doing the same. I am not a collector I just love to look, admire, and think of the history and stories that each 99 would be able to tell. I can tell by reading previous post that this is the place to be if you have the BUG and want knowledge of 99's

Welcome! First thing you're going to want to do is get a photobucket account so you can play along with the other loonies.

Welcome to a fine group of individuals with a wide range of knowledge. I have never met a friendlier group, always willing to help. Sit by the fire and throw a log on it. Its mighty comforting.

Yeah, I see it. I would very much like to have one like that. It's a real keepsake. All joking aside, I'd keep that one under lock and key, Joe.

photo bucket account? not sure I know what you mean.
I do have many questions on most of the 99's I have. I have been reading post here and one thing that is confusing to me is I do have a 99 that the serial number is 3523XX and I looked at the boss code and it is stamped Q. I know that I have read one here that O, and Q were never stamped on a 99. Not sure if it was meant on the boss code or another spot on the gun. This stamp is on the Boss Code. The gun has pistol Grip style stock, No checkering, Jeweled action. That is about the best I can describe it without a picture. I want to learn how to post pictures. I asked my wife ( she has eagle eyes) if she could read what was stamped on the boss code( I pointed to the spot) and she said in less than a second Q. I took the forearm off and the butt plate and everything has the same serial number stamped on it. I do have several question about a lot of my 99's but this one is my first one. Thanks to all that reads and can give any insight

The LBC didn't start till 1949, around 52x,xxx serial range. What you are looking at is an inspectors stamp on a 1935, 99-EG rifle.

wow Thank You. I didn't think a action would be jeweled back that far. I will go to photo bucket and get started. I would like to post a picture of this gun. The wood is beautiful and when you look at the action and open it the bluing isn't even wore where the slide is. I don't think this 99 has many hunting stories to tell. Thanks again .......I do have a lot more questions lol don't want to wear out my welcome to soon

With a serial number of 352,xxx with a pistol grip and no checkering I agree with Rick that it is an early EG. But, the jeweled bolt does not compute. EGs did not get jeweled bolts until early/mid 1950s. So bolt may be a replacement. (Hard for me to imagine someone would jewel a bolt on an EG without doing additional custom work.)

My 1935 vintage 22 H-P EG also has a jeweled bolt. Could this be something the factory experimented with on the new model? Doubtful right? David

Doubtful, IMO. It could've been jeweled by anyone along the way- anyone with a drill press or mill, a jeweling bit or even a fresh pencil eraser and polishing compound, and a modicum of common sense.

My 1937 Cord 810 had a jeweled dash. I never thought about it before. When did the jeweling process come about? I'll have to pop the backs off of a couple of my old watches. I'm sure some in the 1880's were jeweled, Joe.
