Mine has a steel buttplate but it is curved not flat.Here's a sideview showing the curve.I've been told this is a 1899H made in about 1917.Serial # 2057xx.I'm thinking if yours is an H and mine has a different buttstock,it must be something else.Can anyone tell me what mine would be?Sorry for the hijack if you like I'll start a new thread,just give the word.
