How many early first series (pre-WWI) 250-3000 rifles with the cross-hatched trigger were produced?

It looks like about 26,000 according to Rory's Pocket Reference, but I'm sure he'll belong to confirm if I'm reading that correctly.

They were made within a serial number range of 26,000 - but only a portion of those rifles were model 250-3000's.
I couldn't even guess. 20% of that? 15%? 25%? Even 10%? It was an expensive model..

Ah, there's the subtlety.
Thanks Rory. 26,000 seemed like a lot.

Thanks Rory. At age 80 with Long Covid and cardiac issues caused I believe by their Pfizer shots that did not keep me from getting covid 3 times, I’m selling some firearms and other things. I have an early 250/3K, clearly used and hunted, but completely unmolested with a Lyman tang sight, perch belly stock, cross-hatch trigger. Metal is very good. Wood is nicked and dented but solid. Any thoughts as to value? I used to use photobucket a few years ago but now have no clue how to post pics other than via email or on sites like Gunbroker and EBay.

Thanks for the help. I would rather post for sale on the forum than GB if possible. Am presently tied up with wife’s health issues as well as mine, but will try to get a rifle or two up soon. John
