I have been shown a FN Browning model 1906, caliber 0.25, Vest Pocket, third version, serial number 753316. Can anyone help with a manufacturing year of this little gun?

In Anthony Vanderlinden's book "FN Browning Pistols" serial numbers 726411 and 735441 are reported as shipped from plant's warehouse in 1925. Not an exact date but it gives you a good estimate, I guess.
