It would have to be either in the 3000 serial range or in the 13000 range. Does it have signs of being an early carrier? Things like the horn, or rubber back steps. That would indicate that it may be in the 3000 range.
Personally I think it looks more like a 13000 number, and I have seen carriers in this serial range located in Canada.
One way to raise the numbers is by scrubbing them with a wire wheel. As you polish up the area, the harder metal that was stamped will react differently than the softer metal surrounding it. I have used this method to raise serial numbers on a gun that was ground off.
