Maddog will tell you exactly the year, but late 1970's I believe.
Condition is everything as far a price goes though.
$600.00 to $700.00 if it's like new.
The real collectible 99's were made before 1960, with serial numbers below 1 million, and no letter prefix.
(unless it's in a scarce caliber like .358, .375, or 7MM-08)

Letter Prefix's were added to 99 serial numbers in the late '60's.
lever boss codes will only tell you date of manufacture for 99's made from 1949 to the late 1960's if my memory is correct.

Incorrect!
as mentioned above, letter prefix's were added in the late 1960's, starting with "A".
Don't get the lever boss code mixed up with the prefix in the serial number.
His gun was made in the late 1970's or early 1980's.
A Savage 99 made in the 1950's will have the safety on the lever, and no letter in the serial number,
starting around 1960 the safety was on the tang.
