Do I have a T99 safety ? No matter really, that's how grandpa shipped it home from Guadacanal, just curious though.

T99 from the beginning had the cut out. Without evidence to the contrary I would say your safety is correct. riceone Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction. - Billy the Kid
