I can tell you that I've seen a serial number of 106619 on a 21/2 (and I
own one in the high 105,000s ) so it seems likely that there were more
than 6000 made (so far !). Of course given the practice of making up a
batch of rings and using them as needed there might be significant gaps
in the serial number range - On the other hand, the 21/2 front ring
appears to have changed style only once which might make gaps less
likely.
