While I am sure this may have been covered before, I did look through the forum but couldn't find anything, so, I'm hoping someone could answer my inquiry.
A very good friend of mine whom I've known for 50 years has acquired a revolver through inheritance.
The gun was purchased from a store in the late 60's-early 70's.
I am not sure what paperwork was required back then when purchasing from a store, and I know that private sales of handguns was legal up until, sometime in the 80's?.
Not trying for anything illegal. He plans on keeping the gun for sentimental reasons.
Just curious if there is some way to check what comes up if the serial number is checked.
He is not very knowledgeable about firearms, and I am trying to assist him.
There is NOT supposed to be a data base for purchases, right? Especially back then?
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks!!
