I'm not sure of that list but Jeff Stephen's in DGJ gives:

1896 - 57,801 - 63,400
1897 - 63,401 - 69,100
1898 - 69,101 - 75,100

Noted as "...Estimated Year of Production Table". The block of steel that was to be a sporting weapon was issued a serial number near that date, but doesn't consider completion.
