I'd like to start the bidding at $100. That would cover shipping and insurance. What would you give for the gun? I would think a serious collector would go $2500 on that gun and feel really good about it, considering the odds of finding another are basically ZERO. I went to an auction about 5 years ago to buy essentially the same gun in the same condition. I never even got my number raised up. The gun landed at 2700. That was then and this is now, but nevertheless, these don't show up everyday...

A Savage 99 with a 20 inch barrel is about a perfect lever action. The 99T is the best of the lot.

Since it is such a nice condition T, I went ahead and lettered it, so I would have the papers with it. It lettered as a 99-T, originally made in caliber 250-3000 Savage. It was shipped from the Savage factory in Utica, N.Y. on May 8, 1935. The original consignee is entered as the California Hardware Co. of Los Angeles, CA.
