Rory just said they continued to stamp the barrels 1899 several years after they changed to 99. The Model 99 G Deluxe, take down, pistol grip, checkered, made from 1922 to 1941 is a 99, not 1899. Yours is a typical example of one stamped 1899 after the change to 99 was made. If you have a copy of Murray's book go to page 3-5, it lists all of the models in order. They didn't make an 1899 G.
