According to the best available serial number chronology, the one in the Second Edition of Walter Snyder's book, your gun is a Lewis Model from 1903. The rib legend NITRO POWDER STEEL indicates it is a No. 1 Special. I don't believe that butt plate is original, but it certainly appears to have been there a long time.
