Michael, crosschecking your and my list I found a serial that is not present on yours – 780257. So total number of serials is 11.
As for for monitoring Canadian market. I monitor auctions, some Canadians stores that specialize in vintage firearm, local gunshows. I plan to continue to share my finds with you and Bert (in case of 1894s). I suppose the only thing you can monitor remotely is auctions – go to iCollector, filter by Canada and Firearms/Guns type of auctions. Big 3 of Canadian gun auctions are Switzer, Landborough and Ward. Mind that descriptions are not always to be trusted. Last Switzer auction had 751585 listed as “DCP marked” gun. 
  

Are you certain of that SN 780257?  I have that rifle in my data as a 25-20 SRC.  I have 4 images of the rifle but not its SN.

I am not, Michael. I started compiling my list with SNs posted in this topic by late Richard Calver and added SN of my carbine. When I saw no feedback I searched the Internet for pictures / discussions on the subject and added several more serials however I did not save pictures, nor did I save any comments. 
God knows where I grabbed that serial, so let’s leave it as “under question”.

I have seen it twice on Gunbroker.  The first time back in 2012 out of Sula, MT and then again out of Vinemount, AL.  I am feeling pretty confident that my listing is correct.
