Colt 1894 new army-antique status check

[davidsbyang]

Will it be qualified as antique status with the serial number of 940XX or mfg year 1898?
Does pre-1898 include or exclude the year of 1898?

1897 is the last acceptable year

Wierd since down here its before 1899.
The other criteria eliminates almost ANY handgun cartridge you can still buy. except .455 and .476
