I have a T99 as described above and would like to know it's approximate value. The rifle is in very good condition. Matching serial numbers. Bore is a little worn but rifling is still sharp. Most of the bluing remains. The stock has minor dings but is free of any cracks or splits. The mum is ground. The rifle is complete except for it's dust cover.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Barrel is likely not worn. Japanese used metford rifling; it is not as "sharp" as you might be used to. Nice looking rifle; around $350"ish".

Agree with BradB. I got a 1st series about 6 wks ago similar to yours with a matching dust cover for $400.

Does that safety match? Something about it sticks out. Maybe it's just been over cleaned? If it is totally matched, with staked screws and a "ri" marked rod, it could go for the prices quoted or a bit more if someone "had to have it".
Are you fishing for a starting price to sell?

I'll go more conservative on the figure. While the monopod does add quite a bit, I think you'll get between $250~$300. If you intend to sell it, I'd wait awhile to see how the economy turns out.

Not looking to sell right now. Just trying to estimate a total value of my collection for insurance purposes. Thanks.

Real nice rifle...but to me...nothing...no mum...no value, only for parts...unless it something special like a t100 or type 1 paratrooper

I'm getting more & more into mummed rifles but haven't achieved the status of "mum snob" yet
