Lots of small gun shops in Western Pennsylvania. I have the tendancy to stop at them a lot looking for treasures. Most of the owners know I collect 99's and will give me a call when they get one in. A shop owner called me this week and told me he had a really nice "G" and wanted a thousand dollars for it. I figured it was just another overpriced 99 and almost didn't go take a look at it. Well guess who's a thousand dollars poorer today. It's a 1922 (first year of production) "G" unmolested in at least 75 or 80 percent condition. And get this.
Came with the original box and paperwork. Even came with a wooden cleaning rod that may have came with the rifle originally. I figured I'll never get another chance for something like this, so I spent the cash.

Very nice one. You do know that 90 percent of all 99's made are in PA. The two I bought last week came from Parkesburg, PA, Joe.

Now that's a find for sure! Congratulations.
If it's only 75-80%, you're a great photographer. It looks near new in the pictures.

Beautiful. I think finding the box is just as exciting as the rifle. Nice find.

Not fair! You already had too many! I know, I saw all yours at savage fest. That's a beauty and the box and papers to boot. I hope you didn't hurt your arm whipping out the cash.
Great find!

Wanted to ask how many of you guys are retired? I can't find time to go to any shops or shows anymore. I need to hit the lottery or have a jet engine hit my house if I'm going to scour the field for these kind of finds!
