Just to add to everyone's collective old gun knowledge check out the link below. Because almost all 99 gekes are really old gun gekes.

Lots of very old, very cool pictures. You can see many very old model 8's with the round knob pistol grips. I own one of these versions myself serial number 949x, Grade A manufactured in 1908, 35 Remington and bought brand spanking new in 1909 by my Grandfather's uncle. Uncle Nick. I also own my father's 1928 version Grade C with checkered wood and a capped pistol grip. 32 Remington. My Grandfather told me he bought it from a civil war veteran's widow and gave it to my father on his 16th birthday.
