Ed,
are you sure about that?
I believe it is the "removal" that is illegal, and subsequent possession of a weapon with removed or obliterated serial number is illegal. Many states have similar statutes, in NC a removed number is illegal.
If a piece never had a serial number in the first place- it is not an issue.
