The 1899H morphed into the 99E and 99F a year or two after your rifle was made, so your guess was close. And your rifle will look just like the 1920's 99F since it will have a metal buttplate. It's still an 1899H even without the "normal" hard rubber buttplate usually seen on 1899H's, it's just that the last year or two of the 1899H they switched to the metal.
