Serial numbers

Is there a way to determine this history or manufacture date of a Sun
equipment based on the serial number? I have a DDS-3 Unipack external
tape drive (serial #001A1172/part 559-2107-01) and it is supposed to
be a new, out-of-the-box tape drive. It looks obviously worn. I
called Sun tech support and they told me they have no way to track
serial numbers of tape drives. That serial # looks very old to me as
my oldest DDS-3 drives start with 124. Any clues?
