Curious so I did some googling and found this listing for serial number 1006 saying it was made between 1924 and 1926

Pictured is the 2nd Model Newton, not the Buffalo Newton. This one has the reversed triggers and the crooked bolt. The 1st Model Newton has the regular looking double set trigger and a straight bolt. Could also have this serial#. Buffalo Newtons are about 1918-19
