They just used a dot rather than a comma. Whether that's due to European influence, or thinking a comma just looked ugly, or what.. we don't know. You'll want to run all the numbers without it, which means his is from 1905.
You did use the second box which says it's from American Rifleman, right? The main one isn't that accurate for pre-WWI Savage 1899's.
