The 999 was the final design for that pistol. It was preceded by the Sportsman, the Model 199 (SA only I believe) and an even earlier model whose name escapes me at the moment. There is a fella who used to run around the forums by the handle of "B. Goforth"---I believe his name was Brian Goforth. He likely knows more about these that anyone and put out a book here a few years back.
My Sportsman dates to 1938/39. It is cosmetically challenged but shoots just fine, thank you.
