I emailed Heritage about the guitar, and Mike confirmed that D25423 would in fact be the serial number, during it to 1987. Also after closer investigation, I think the fretboard is actually Ebony rather than Rosewood, which is kind of cool. I originally thought it had been painted due to how dark it is, but the wood is the same color in damage around the fret edges from when the originals were pulled. You can also still see the original finish on the sides in some places so I know the fretboard wasn't replaced. Thanks everyone for your help with this guitar, it's turned out to have quite the story.
