He then certifies to the BATFE that the gun has been serailized, and he then returns it to you.Ĭontact our forum member Wichaka for further information. They have a procedure to assign a replacement serial number, which you must then have a gunsmith approved by the BATFE apply to the pistol. The BATFE isn't going to raise an issue over it if you approach them to "legitimize" the pistol. the saving grace is that the BATFE, in an unusual display of common sense, seems to recognize that a lot of GIs brought home 1911s after the wars and ground off the serial numbers. It's also illegal to remove or to alter a serial number, but the real "gotcha" here is that the wording of the law states that whoever is found in possession of a firearm so altered or defaced is LEGALLY PRESUMED to be the person who performed the alteration or defacement.

This is a problem for you, because there is a Federal law (which many states also echo in their statutes) that makes it a felony to be in POSSESSION of a firearm with an altered or defaced serial number. It's entirely possible that the serial number was ground off when the pistol was polished for plating. The serial number should be on the right side of the frame, just beneath the slide and just aft of the slide stop pin. If I'm looking in the wrong areas let me know, or if pics are needed first then tell me to hurry up.

The gun is very smooth and has the appearance of a gun that was used a lot (both being holstered and shot). I have taken the gun apart and can not find any other numbers, and nothing appears to be filed off either. The opposite side of the slide states "Model of 1911.U.S.Army", so I'm assuming it's not a commercial issue. The last date listed on ithe slide is "Aug 19 1913". The only other noticeable numbers are near the bottom of the trigger guard (near the magazine release) which is stamped "46". It is a nickel plated pistol with the inspectors mark of "S17" (Eagle's Head).

I am new to the 1911 pistols, and have been trying to track down where the serial numbers are listed. I was probably the only family member that would drool every time I walked by the pistol even as a young child, and I guess that's why I now have this. Needless to say this gun has made impressions on many family members for many years. This was a gun that I always remember seeing on his end table locked and loaded and one that my mother also remembers when she was a kid seeing locked and loaded. I have just recently inherited my grandfathers 1911.
