I have been looking for a NICE model 99 for some time......one that hasn't looked like it been thrown off a cliff, been beat over some rocks, completely without blueing etc.etc. But I have to say....if they are still in circulation.....they must still work!
Mine ain't too "nice" by you standards, but at least it's not too beat up. Internally it's great. It's just rough enough on the outside to carry and not worry about it.
