Here you go mate, both sets (pre and post 1918) of serial runs are here;

It's probably the first part of 1913 looking at the total for the period your number is in, and the "S" prefix denotes a safety sear, which had been introduced the previous year

For a donation of £15 (I think) John Knibbs can tell you the exact day of dispatch etc. as he has the original BSA records.
