1933 is probably about right as they went from stamping them Model 1899 to Model 99 in the early-mid 1920's and the serial # is pre WWII. On the barrel I would assume it's a factory rebarrel. Value-wise it's hard to say as it's been refinished, rebarreled and D&T'd. I'm no expert on the 99 market, but I'd classify it as a solid shooter that would probably fetch somewhere in the $500-750 range as there's no real collector value left in it for the purists. The caliber is the only think keeping the price that high IMO as if it was a .300 Sav it would probably be a $500-600 gun tops.
These days 99's just don't seem to be fetching as high of prices that they were a few years ago.
