This is how the Stemme Gmbh & Co S-10 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N6003M, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Valid registration to Maheas-Smith Richard, an individual, certificate issued April 18, 2018, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 12, 2000, 9 years after the 1991 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 10-15 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N6003M was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech C23 (serial M2117, cancelled November 3, 1997); Stinson 108-3 (serial 108-4003, cancelled June 25, 1965). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
1 NTSB record under N6003M: Accident on May 16, 1982 at Churchville, MD: minor injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
