There's a couple websites with serial numbers. According to savage99, yours was 1918/1919. Given the damage done be the previous owner, I wouldn't be surprised if that brainiac filed the sear. In any case, my advice would be find a new smith. A quick check did not reveal any drop in aftermarket triggers for the 99, but that doesn't mean parts are unavailable. I own one 99 in good condition, and I have replaced and adjusted a number of triggers myself on other guns. But I personally would not feel comfortable messing with the trigger on the 99.
