J.C.Higgins Model 30 serial number

[Mac7mac]

A J.C.Higgins .22 LR Model 30 semiauto rifle has been submitted to me as evidence, and I can not locate a serial number on it. Can any THR members assist? Thank you.

Serial numbers were not required on firearms until 1968, it may be older than that. Many manufacturers didn't serialize the lower end firearms.
