Date of manufacture 1907, model is an 1899A (A = round barrel, B = octagon barrel, C = 1/2 round 1/2 octagon barrel all 26" long barrels). Restoring will kill any remaining value or collector interest and being a 303 sav you either have to reload or have deep pockets to use it as a shooter. My advice would be clean it up and keep it as it is. A professional restoration will cost thousand and not increase the value anywhere near the cost. Tang sights can be found on eBay on occassion.
Hope this helps.
