I have a small collection of antique firearms all old single shots so just A cat.
a few of which do not have any serials or marks of any kind.

now I'm resigned to the fact that eventually they will need to be registered sooner rather than later for me as I'm guessing I will drop my cut off to 30 days pretty quick. as it seems you can't do anything much without triggering that rule

question: what if my firearm doesn't have a serial number.
i rang FSA last week and they said i would have to call back after the 24th and speak to a registry officer.

what do you think the requirement will be?
1. best case just add a photo of the firearm
2 stamp the firearm with identifying marks. anywhere on the firearm like under the wood to retain as much originality as possible.
3 worst case stamp firearms in a visible location which id be a bit unhappy about TBH.

yeah I have my dads old 16 gauge hammer shotgun probably early 1890 no makers name and some years ago my brother locked it shut cant be opened - so no numbers what now

its already fucked and cant me fired in that case i would take it to a gunsmith and get it signed off as deactivated and put it on the wall as "not a firearm"

I will follow that up- as it is only a display piece really
