valve serial numbers

[captian pinky]

i picked up a splash rt mag and noticed the valve had a low serial number.

did the rt valves have a different set of serial numbers than the classic valves?

and how old is this sucker just curious? ive owned a lot of mags i think this is the first in the 3 digits
