I noticed a post from a few weeks back about an H&R Sportsman .22 cal., model 999. I have an old H&R Sportsman which belonged to my grand dad, but there is no indication on the gun itself that it is a "Model 999." It has the distinctive look of the more modern version, with "H&R 'SPORTSMAN' (yes, it has the quote marks), double action" on the left side of the barrel, and "Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. Worchester, Mass, U.S.A." on the right. The serial number is 82087.

My grand dad has been gone for over 50 years, and he bought the gun used, so I know its been around a while. Can anyone help me with history on this model. Do I have a "pre-999" 999?

Thanks.

Allen
