Not sure if I am in the right place, so please advise if not...Recently acquired a Winchester Lee Navy rifle (All are antiques from pre 1898) with all the metal surfaces buffed smooth, making the markings hard to read, and no visible serial number. My feeling is that it is one of the recovered rifles from the USS Maine, hence the work on all the metal.
My 2 questions...Do the laws making it illegal to own a firearm with an obliterated serial number apply to antique rifles ?...and
Does anyone know where I can take it to try and restore the number ?...hoping it is from the Maine.
Thanks
