Does anyone know where I can find an original steel crescent buttplate for my 1899? I inherited it from my great uncle and would like to put it back original. It's had some cowboy customizing (no doubt by my uncle)done on the butt, and the plate was lost in the process.

Already did. Only M99 stuff. This one has a 1900 build date.
