There are only two circumstances in which a low serial number has any bearing on the value of a firearm:

1) The low number represents a documented prototype weapon.

2) The low number represents a presentation firearm, or one which was presented to a high government official, a VIP, or a member of the firearms firm.

I have a Walther PPK which was a VIP presentation piece, serial number 11111, but there is no documentation. Therefore, I consider the premium value to amount to no more than an additional15%.
