I think I have to vote for leaving it alone too. It’s condition is it’s history and that history will stay intact for as long as there is somebody who can tell it. There are plenty of well used 99s out there that have lost their history because they passed from the hands who made it. If you want to restore a 99 then get one of those. But if you want a nice 99 then save your money for a decent rifle to come up for sale. I’ve seen several on gunbroaker that have gone neglected for under 1K. Get one of those.
