The Army and Navy Fingerprint files were ordered released to the FBI Identification around 1940. Access to these early files would be through the Identification Division of the FBI.

I'm a writer, and I need a way for my private investigator heroine to find a match for very old prints. She's got an envelope with prints on it, and I'd like her to match those prints to prints that were taken as long ago as possible. I'd love to have the old prints be the ones taken by the military in the 1905-1930 range. Would there be any way she could get access to prints that old to analyze them? Or could she find someone who could get access to them?
