For a 1906 Navy is there any good way to derive the Serial number when the places where the four digits are placed have been ground off? It appears to be a first issue, altered and the 3rd & 4th digits are where they should be; on the small parts. Therefore it's hide and seek on the first two numbers. I can't remember if the side plate has a coded portion of the s.n. or not. How illegal is it to have a gun with the real s.n. removed? Anyway to reliably re-affix the s.n.?
thanks
