You're welcome.

No, I am not an advanced collector, but I am interested in this type of guns, and had some passed through my hands, and some stucking in my hands that I planned to transfer to the next generation. High grade prewar commercial made near WWI with excellent matching stock.... could sell between 2k - 2.5k. Guns of this period is more military like, a little bit rough, but that's a taste. Those 4-rifling earlier prewar small ring with very high quality finish with matching stock could go $4k, those guns are very attractive to eyeballs.

I have never seen number under sight matching s/n. For example, gun #173778's under sight number on receiver is 1341, not obvious relation between these two numbers. Very normal.
