That s/n dates to April 1991.
The HTR series guns shipped in February of 1991, they were called "Classic Hunter", unfluted cylinder, Target Stocks, product code 103820, and it's said only 2000 where made.
The gun you saw is from that same era, just a few months later. I'm guessing the gun was popular so S&W cranked out some more with plain Jane s/n's. And, maybe the difference between a "Hunter" and a "Classic Hunter" is the unfluted cylinder.
