    Oh those questions opens up a can of worms. I suspect that you could not register a firearm without a serial number. The FSA/TTP require an identifiable serial number / marking so you could make up anything as long as it is attached with permanency. For example, your initials and the figures of your year of birth would meet the criteria. But the stupidity of this is that someone somewhere with the same initials and year of birth could do the same thing to a firearm of the same make and model. As to your question about affecting value, a purist would answer in the affirmative but the FSA/TTP are completely out of shits to give.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Brother did one recently and on enquiring from local muppets (FLA) was instructed to use his date of birth and the last three numbers of his F/A licence ( think I got that right). Sounds like one of the few things from them that make complete sense
