Check with local law enforcement. They can check the serial number against the NCIC data base for stolen firearms. This is a National database that is NOT available to the general public.

Can you buy a handgun at 18 in Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, private sellers (sellers who are not licensed dealers) may only sell a handgun to an unlicensed purchaser through a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer or county sheriff's office, who must initiate a background check as described above. Section 6111(c), (f)(1)-(2); 37 Pa. Code § 33.111(g).A Dealer may not (by Federal law) sell a handgun to anyone under 21. PA law prohibits anyone under 18 for possessing a handgun (except under direct adult supervision) so it MAY be legal to purchase from a PRIVATE seller- but that sale must take place at the County Sheriff's office- so your best bet for a CURRENT, LEGAL answer will be to check with the County Sheriff.
