We have a Millennium Nikkor-S 50/1.4 serial number registry already, so here's the S3 2000 and S3 2002 serial number registry (I've called the S3 Limited Edition Black the "S3 2002" to differentiate it from the "S3 2000". 2002 is the year it went on sale).
First one is:
S3 2002 (black): 302151

I have decided that every month is Nikon Rf month now. I have been shooting with Kodak's XX film and alternating between Nikon reloadable cassettes and Leica's IXMOO cassettes. I usually roll up 50+ IXMOO and 24 Nikon cassettes and that lasts about a month.MikeL said:Speaking of unearthing a Nikon Tom, is it Nikon rangefinder month soon?
At the moment I have a few of the Nikon's to finish off. They are intended for my early SP (the 309th made!) and the incomparable 105f2.5. We are heading to Japan next Sunday for 11 days so I better finish these rolls this week. I hate going somewhere and have unprocessed film stacked up.

did the s3 2000 sets' body and lens come with matching s/n?
No, the s/n on the body and lens are not matching, though later s/n bodies tend to have later s/n lenses.
