I think there were very, very few 99E’s made in the catalogued 1960 configuration with a schnable forearm. We see 20 of the other style E’s with 96x,xxx serial numbers for every one of these. Like the uncatalogued octagon barreled 99C’s, I think they were using up old parts. The EG and R are also catalogued, but who has ever seen a 1960 stamped one of those? Just there to sell of old inventory, or testing to see popularity? I’d guess to sell old inventory.

The different styles of 1960 99E are all probably right as rain.
