Original Note:
Serial numbers weren’t required on firearms in the US prior to 1968. The first serial number appeared on a Colt Paterson revolver in 1865. It would have been impossible to “register” any firearm prior to this, as there would be no way to differentiate it from another weapon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_serial_number
