This has been researched exhaustively as detailed in Rob L's thread and in a prior thread by Hal Lewis. I very much doubt there is any additional relevant information out there. There is clearly no definitive evidence supporting 1897-99 as the issue date, although I suppose it remains possible if not likely.
