Many thanks for your helpfull and appreciated information! You are right, there is a R on the lever boss and the 99 has a Monte Carlo stock.
The cocking indicator spring is ok, but the cocking indicator is broken at the drilling were the spring is going through. That is not a big problem - I can make a new indicator pin.
Unfortunately the owner is asking for 900 € for the rifle, in my opinion to much for the gun in that condition.
I'll do the repair for him and have to let it go.
Best regards from Germany

Now after a little discussion about the value of the 99DL I have got it. :-) So I can call the 99DL my own and it will be the fourth part of my Savage collection. Inbetween I have manufactured a new indicator pin and the 99 got a bit of care and oil. Runs perfectly now again! Here comes a picture of the four: Best regards from Germany Pasche

Congratulations on the new purchase. I'm guessing that finding 99's in Germany is not easy. That's a nice collection of Colt revolvers, also. The prices on the snake models have sure jumped here in the states.

Many thanks of your congrats! :-) I am hunting with the both in .308 because the one in .243 and .22HP are not allowed to shoot at wild boars in germany. And inbetween wild boars can always cross your way in the forests. The .22HP from 1912 was used until the late 70ties in Bavaria for hunting roe deers from a female farmer, I knew her from the times I was a little child. Her name was Alice and she died last January at the age of 87. The saddle gun was brought with from a Canada hunting trip to Germany in the 80ies from an older hunter. I bought it via egun a few years ago. He had never used it here. 99 are really rare here in Germany. I am glad to own my four and I know 2 person owning one from 1903 in .303 and a take down from 1920 in 250-3000, both in great condition. Regarding the Colts: the 4" Python from 1966 and the 6" OMM from 1959 are from my father, he was a germany police man, he died in January last year at the age of 86. I added the 6" Python Elite a few years ago for sports shooting and the Anaconda last year. Unfortunately my fathers Colts have timing problems and in Europe it is not possible to get the problems fixed. The gun smithes here are able to work on modern S&W but not at the older Colt actions. And Colt does no linger have a support in Germany. Prices for Colts rise high here since they are no longer manufactured. For Pythons and Anacondas you can easily pay more than 1000 - 1500 €. I payed 450 for the Elite in new condition about 9 years ago and 860 for the Anaconda in May 2015. Glad to have them! ;-) Here you see them together with my S&W 629: Best regards from Germany! Pasche

The number on mine. Checked a couple websites, says 1935.
.300 savage, no studs, not D&T
Got it for a decent price I thought, have no clue what it is worth.
Just a hunting gun IMHO. Got some dings, no tang crack. Rain tomorrow,would like to hit the range this week to see what it does with the Lightfoot mount (hey I can actually see an aiming point).
As a kid my dad was a lefty, so before he got his first Ruger #1, he had a 110 lefty. Had catalogs. Remember reading the Savage gun catalog inside my school book....algebra class with some jerk midget of a lib teacher.........was '78 or '79.
Back then I thought I'd want a 99. Ended up getting a #1 myself then.
This my first 99.
Shot it with the fuzzy rear sight, .300 Savage. Buttplate. Was pleasantly surprised at the comfort.
Of course the guy that owned it before me said it kicked HARD!
Blast was decent, but recoil? Pffffft. Nothing to even get excited about.

hookeye, 1935 is correct. We can identify model if you'll post pics. muffin, 1919, only 1899H TD's were produced in 22 HP that year. 1899F was a saddle ring carbine with a heavier barrel than the 1899H. LBC's weren't used until 1949. That's when they started with "A". 1950 "B", etc. David

The 1899H morphed into the 99E and 99F a year or two after your rifle was made, so your guess was close. And your rifle will look just like the 1920's 99F since it will have a metal buttplate. It's still an 1899H even without the "normal" hard rubber buttplate usually seen on 1899H's, it's just that the last year or two of the 1899H they switched to the metal.

All pimped out with Godagrip stick on shotgunner wedge, some dude's scope base and a Redfield Rev I had laying around. Guy coming over to check on some Jeep rims/tires or I'd be at the range. Maybe tomorrow. [img:center] [/img]

It would have had a metal buttplate, only option that was available in 1951 (mfr date of the gun). It's a model 99EG, by the way. Not totally sure that's the original buttstock, fit looks off. Is anything stamped on the end of the buttstock in the wood?
Good luck to your friend, being out of work sucks.

Check out the "title" of the thread. .250-3000...
My daddy was a cowboy in his younger days, wild as the west Texas wind. He once told me, "Son, death is a horse you got to ride. So you better get your saddle ready."

Its' too bad they have to sell a family heirloom. Unfortunately in that condition it's not going to bring a lot. The back of the buttstock was originally curved to fit the curved buttplate. It looks like it has been cut flat which means an original buttplate won't fit properly further decreasing the value. David
