Lets say there is an old pistol in a gunshop.
Lets use Luger for an example.
The gun is a beater but in decent mechanical condition.
The only problem with the pistol is the serial number is neatly ground off looks like it was taken off with a mill and there is a neat smooth groove where the serial numbers used to be.
This gun is obviously pre 1968 (before serial numbers were required.)
The gun is entered into the gun shops books.
I know you can buy guns that have no original serialization (old .22 rifles and such.) they just indicate no S/N on the 4473
Would it be wise to purchase this gun?
Would there be any legal problems with owning a gun that has had the serial number intentionally removed?
