Were there LBCs of 'O' or 'Q'? What about 'W' and following? I've never seen any O, Q, or W, X, Y, or Z coded rifles. (And I always look.)

Are the post-70 serial numbers proprietary information? I've never seen them listed anywhere. (I'm talking about the S/Ns after they moved to the side of the receiver and were preceded with a letter (I think...still learning).

My dad has a pretty serious collection of 99s and is planning to start selling them off pretty soon. I need an education, as he wants me to do the selling. (He has about 40 - 50 99s, most of which are pre-WWII, but he has about seven that are newer.)
