And it warms my heart to see (what I presume to be) a nicely preserved EG proudly displayed front and center. A near mint Utica 1940 99EG 300. It was a deliberate choice!

From a distance those pre-war Ts can look a bit like a post-war R. I guess I need to get me some of that "magic." Is that dovetail bracket on the front tube of Skidrow's T a 99 mount or was it adapted from something else?

There were 3 companies making rifle models back then and at least 2 made 99s, probably all 3.

Thanks for the pics and posting them Rory. SavageupNorth has some top shelf rifles as do some others. How many have a RMEF rifle and a 1899D/musket?! dsr1935's ammo display was pretty special as well. I learned a thing or two. One can read all kinds of stuff, but having a piece in hand to look at is invaluable. Thanks to everyone who traveled and brought displays, helped with setup/tear down, door prizes, snack food, security, cooking, donations and more.
