You hear of this every now and then. Some shy away as if it is Black Mamba. Any gun without a serial number can be suspect in their eyes.

Some factory refurbishes were serial numbered in the commerical way, with far less numbers showing, but there still would be one on the frame.

It is "possible" it is one that was put together by a GI at the factory or a worker who took it home. I would lean towards the GI of these two theories.

But try to look as close as possible and see if any serial number remains and was taken off by some idiot owner or other person.
