I purchased a 300mm f/9 Nikkor-M new from Midwest around 2004 with the serial Number 801606. Around 2007 I purchased a 120mm Nikkor-SW new from B&H with the serial number 700656. If Nikon serial numbers were consecutive regardless of the FL, then it would appear that the 120 SW was a slower seller than the 300M which makes sense when considering that the 120 remained available new on the B&H website longer than most, if not all, new Nikon LF lens and my 120 was manufactured shortly after yours;)

As a follow-up to my post above, the serial number of the 300mm Nikkor-W lens with the "red D" is 786113. If my theory that Nikon LF Lens serial numbers are consecutive, then that places the manufacture date around 2000. It appears that Nikon cameras are consecutively numbered as is the F6 so I assume that they followed the same process for all their products.

So, based off the aforementioned information that you have provided to this thread, would a Nikon Nikkor-W 300mm F/5.6 with a serial number of 787970 have a manufacture date between 1998 and 2000 then?
