It is not Bakelite, which wasn't invented until 1907.
The material is gutta percha, a resin from Southeast Asia, which when warmed would be formed, stamped, etc. Then it would harden.
In that serial range, H grade guns were often seen with a plain black insert. And G and F grade guns were often seen with a dog's head stamped in that.
But variations abound.
