Hi,

A very interesting question. I do not think it adds much to the value unless it was something like #1 or #3 or a really low single digit number, and then I'm not sure what it would add, but not an awful lot. Condition is the most important factor, and if all things are equal, the value would not jump much on a 99 percent condition gun in my opinion, as the condition is already there in a low serial or a high serial. On lower conditioned guns, say a 95 percent gun, I suppose the value would be slightly more on the really low serial number, say a two digit compared to a four digit. I would think that you would have to have a two digit serial number to add much to a gun, but again, the condition is the most important factor in my opinion, and not the serial number. I'm sure there will lots of different opinions on this.
