2000 sounds about right. This one was likely the made for the last gasp.
It looks decent at a glance, but the fit is terrible--check out the rear toggle... The extractor in the '06 pattern breech block was made to resemble a 1900 version by eliminating the ears. The toggle knobs' knurling is in the wrong place, and it's obvious that they were regular ones that were simply dished, similar to what Rich did to create a set. The grips art typically very fat, it's like holding a section of downspout. Top view shows the sprayed-on finish. The front sight is improper, and there is no toggle lock.
