The 44 Magnum was never a black powder cartridge, and was not invented in 1847 (Well into the 29th century). If you can give a more accurate description, we may be able to help- or have a firearms dealer take a look, and see what you have.

Sure that's not a serial no? My guess is five figures in US$
I am sure the first rifles made using black powder did not have a serial number engraved. Antique rifles without a serial number do exist. I am however unsure what the law state about collector pieces. Logically one can not force a serial number onto a piece that originally was made without one.
black rhodium these days is what it used to turn jewelry black in some parts of the piece. now engraved jewelry unsure,but a manual oxidation process is used on various pieces.
