You know the serial numbers are those reported- I'm sure they started at 1 no suffix, so you can add another 33 for that.
and no reason to think that the "b"s don't go to 5000.
So there is your 25000.
Though I really believe the "1st issue" business is all collector speak anyway.
Is what you are looking for an undated DWM with the acceptance proofing on the left side?
