Default Model Identification question: 2004 Collings OM3HBaG

I recently purchased a used Collings guitar. The serial number is in the high 9000s, which according to the Collings serial numbers table means it was made in 2004. The sticker inside says "OM3H BaG". I know "H" means herringbone purfling and I believe "BaG" means the back and sides are Grade A Brazilian Rosewood and the top is German spruce. Can someone confirm this please? Also, any idea what this would have retailed for new in 2004? Thanks!

I agree with your interpretation. Not sure what the retail value would have been back then.

To get the complete specs, simply email Collings directly with the serial number and they will send you the build sheet.

I can confirm that you're right about the alphanumeric designations.
