There is nothing illegal about having a gun MADE without a serial number just having one with the number "defaced" as in ground off etc. many of the cheaper era guns(22 rifles single shot shotguns some pocket pistols) made befour 1968 did not HAVE serial numbers on them. till GCA 68 required it.

I can see however why a new dealer would not want to have one in his possision. Any reason not to get the attention of ATF when you are in bisness is always a good thing. He just did not want to chance it. It was not worth his licence being delayed while they "checked it out" and or messing with his livelyhood etc.
