That would be a 99EG, only model at that time with a schnabel forearm. I believe it dates to 1950... Great hunting rifle! 6 posts in 6 years? Man.. that's some serious lurking!

No it's a 49, you were right. I've got 49's listed up into the high 520's.
I don't use Murrays for dating purposes he was off alot on some of it. I think he got the dates from somewhere else and just put them in the book.

Not real sure, Rick has better data on that kind of stuff. I know the last Utica serial number was 4476XX and then they started at 500,000 in May of 1947. The serial number stamper was down as well in 1947 for a short time, maybe they did it old school and did it by hand. There was no production from Oct 1947 to May while they were moving. I think if you find a 99 with a real low 500's serial you are looking at a 48.

Hey, I was going from memory! Give a guy a break.. Though, Joe.. not sure about 1949, I think it might be a late 1948. I've got very little data from there, though.

As Jed would say "might could be". It's close and my stuff around there ain't as tight either. Marss, Bancroft huh? I'll remember that for the next auction, maybe I can get you to take my guns home with ya!
