The 1899H hard rubber buttplate? Or the thick hard rubber buttplate?
The 1899H hard rubber buttplate was there with the introduction of the 1899H in 1906.

The thick hard rubber 1899 buttplates show up until.. 1911? 1913? Somewhere that late.
The 1895 buttplates only show up on 1899's for the first couple of years, I think.

Mine's 1909/10 - 1024xx. Nice to know it could be the original pad on it.

This is the one on mine. The metal and wood numbers match, but it had no sights when I bought it. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Yjvx4KDZ/IMG-20211014-181855.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/6y0TtTLX/IMG-20211014-181820.jpg)
