Good morning, I just joined and although I don't currently live in PA I have spent a lot of time eating my way through Lancaster area getting to know real bologna and lard filled baked goods. I look forward to returning to the area and hope to learn eastern English again.

I found and purchased an H&R model 999 in beautiful, condition, blued, about 7" fluted barrel, "Frontier" engraved on the left side of barrel, model 999 & 22 cal and H & R Inc USA also on left side, wood checkered grips with golden H&R emblem and Ser# AD86805 stamped on the base of the grip strap.

From everything I've read they appear to be high quality accurate 22's that are often handed down from grandpa-son-grandson. Can anyone help me find out when & where it was made, type of ammo that's safe to use in it and approximate worth. It came with a leather holster made by Warshal's in Seattle. Is this a Family keeper?

I'd appreciate any help you all could provide....Thanks in advance.
