Can you tell by that number if it falls into the oversize range? I will try to get the owner to let me measure the throats with a set of calipers, but it would be nice to know beforehand.
While not directly answering your question about the serial number, you might benefit from reading this thread, especially about S&W now installing replacement cylinders on 25-5s.
