From what I understand, frames were serial numbered in large batches. so, yes, that is a logical assumption. Like you said, there are many instances of frames being serial numbered, put back in the vault, then not finished and shipped for months or years. For legal purposes it becomes a 'gun' when the frame gets serialed. Unfortunately the factory doesn't record any date with it until it ships.
