Maltby First week production

[Morning Wood]

I have an early Maltby and I am thinking It might have been produced in the first week of production. I'm doubting it, but wondering if anyone had early production data on Maltbys.

just look at the serial number listing in Surplusrifle Forum View topic - ROF MALTBY No4 Mk1 - SERIAL NUMBER SURVEY.
this will give you some idea I have an A prefix maltby but the very first didn't have a letter prefix

What did the early SN's start at 0001 or 10,000? I have a feeling it may have been 10,000.

10001

Not to jack the thread,
So D18,882 would be the 38,879th rifle produced?

For it to be the first week of production I would think would be A10001 to A14000 range, with just a kerfuffle on the estimate of rifles per week.
