OK, the calculus is a little fuzzy, it's based on the the last guns of the first sequence being produced circa 1889, (#3950) and extrapolating back using a 18 gun per mo. production estimate. So, in this case it's around 5 1/2 years, or circa 1883 for the gun's manufacture. Give or take a little, depending on if the first series numbers went into 1890.
We may be somewhat off, or merely missing enough data, but if you figure that the first series numbers correspond with the A&D patent protection period of 14 years, then estimated production numbers jump up slightly to approx 23 guns per mo.
A full set of pics would be a nice addition to the recent/current Lindner Daly thread.
If anyone has different info, please feel free to post it.
