Hard to tell from the pics, could be a #19. Does it have the fold down ring inside the aperture at the back (18)or does it have a threaded front for a screw in aperture? (19)

then it is an 18.


They are desirable sights and look right on the oldest of the 99s like yours. What are your plans with this gun? It looked like it could use at least a little work to get it up and running well again. It appeared in one photo to not have a safety in it?? Some here might be able to find you one for a reasonable price from their parts bins if you need it????

Hi Drew I did find a sight on here as a matter of fact, bought one from tal35. Like I told him afterward, after a couple of hours of taking it down, filing, reassembly taking it back down filing some more it worked smoothly. Wish I could "heal" that crack on the tang? Would like to shoot and carry it hunting this fall.
