1. The receiver would have had a number to start with in nearly all cases as he would have used a quality gun such as a Mauser a 1903 or possibly a Winchester. All of those were numbered.

Running a gun serial number search is essential if you’re looking to buy a used gun from an individual or a dealer. While it is illegal for dealers to sell guns that have been lost, stolen or used in a crime and wanted by the police, it can happen. If you are trying to find the number for a gun you no longer have you will have to go back to the dealer who sold it to you, if the dealer is still.

I received a few guns from a relative that passed and one of them was a 1903 Colt Pocket Hammerless. The gun is in pretty bad shape but still fires. I was looking at it and the serial number appears to have been scratched off (not sure if accidental or on purpose). I really like the gun and would like to keep it, I was told by someone that with some old guns it doesn't matter having the serial number or I also heard that you could get it 're-serial numbered' or something. I estimate it having been made between 1910-1913, is there anyway I can continue to legally own this gun?
