| I am searching for an early, 1959 or so, Model 99 with a gravity feed shot tube. Looking for a nice, original example. Thanks, Cliff |

I might have one that perhaps I'd let go. I asked Joe Murfin for assistance in dating it a few years ago, but it seems to be an anomaly from standard dating records. The model 99 I have, has the "bottle cap," front that you twist to load the BB's in a small port at the front of the barrel as did the first variant model 99's in 1959.
This one has a silver and blue sticker indicating it was a JayCee competition gun, that Daisy started in 1959 in Rogers. However, it appears to never have had a sling, which the first model 99' had a real leather sling, easily seen in vintage ads from 1959. My brother received a true first year 1959 and I fondly remember that leather strap and the nice heft of that model. Interestingly, the registration numbers on the barrel are perhaps 1960 according to Mr. Murfin. So I don't know if this was a late production gun, an overrun, a special run for the new JayCee program, or what? It is in terrific shape, and the person I obtained it from said it was from a collectors estate. I've had it for several years, and my brother was actually able to restore his, which is why I originally purchased this one to give to him! I know this is not a direct offer to sell, yet, but thought there was more to the story on this particular rifle! |
