    You are correct. No letters or numbers anywhere. This link has a bit of history about them.

    FP-45 Liberator - Wikipedia

    I had two, bought them in 1986 for $800 each. Decided to shoot one to see how it felt. Stove piped bullets. On shot 18 all the spot welds broke. I had a bags of parts. Sold the bag for $400 and have left this one alone since.

    Guess they were only intended as a one shot deal, more or less...

    I'll bet a bunch went to landfill because the family thought they were old toys. I would love to have one of those, never seen one before.

    I found a bunch of blueprints/drawing for the Liberator. Could not figure out how to post it to the forum but here is a link to it on my Blog;
