+1 to Bert, it should be an 1899H. Sweet little rifle, very light and easy to handle.
Welcome to the forum, but... it is a collector forum. So, from our point of view, any reblue you do will just lower the value more. Unless you can do a truly awesome, Turnbull'ish style reblue and even then it's only worth more if you don't tell anybody it's reblued.
Now, it's your rifle and you can do what you like with it..
The early 99's had a high grade mirror finish, i think that extended into 1913. Not sure if it was hot blued or rust blued.
