Yes. In the U.S. the basic restrictions are; the seller must legally possess the firearm, and the buyer must be able to legally own the gun. In some states, two individuals can sell firearms between each other, but in a few states, you must go through a gun dealer.
The actual purchaser completes the form 4473 when making a purchase from a licensed dealer..
"Ex felon"? Either you're a felon, or you're not. If you are, then you can have a firearm you owned legally prior to your conviction sold for you, but you cannot legally be in possession of that firearm at any point after your conviction.
When a person sells a firearm they essentially sign a contract stating that the firearm is in fact said person's property. The pawn shop cannot treat everyone as criminals and it rarely happens, but it does from time to time. The original owner must file a police report when firearm was stolen. There is some paper work and steps but it will be returned.
You can't. If you are in law enforcement, you can trace the sn to find out when it was made and sold to the first time. After that, good luck.
From what I can find it was in production from 1990 to 1997 but sold until 2001
The firearm dealer has a record of each sale. He must keep these records for review by the ATF/ATFE on demand. From these records, the dealer can provide the manufacturer, along with the serial number of the firearm and the sale date and to whom it was sold. If it was a private sale between individuals, there may be a record or there may not.
Sell it or give it away to someone within the state of Virginia who can legally possess a firearm. No paperwork required, though you can record who you sold/gave the firearm to. Intrastate transfers are not usually regulated unless you live in a state with prohibitive gun laws. Alternatively, you can also sell it online to people in other states via equipment exchanges on forums and other means. However, you MUST send the firearm to an FFL (Federal Firearm Licensee) and the recipient of the firearm must fill out an ATF Form 4473 before taking possession of the firearm.

No, Sword is not a firearm.
What do you mean by track? Some manufacturers have resources available which allows someone to find out the date of manufacture and such of a firearm they own, but that's about it. If you're trying to find out who bought a gun that you sold to a gun shop or something of that sort, nothing like that is available.
Yes, Marlin Firearms was sold in 2020. The company was acquired by Ruger, a well-known firearm manufacturer, from its previous owner, Remington Outdoor Company, which had filed for bankruptcy. This acquisition aimed to revitalize the Marlin brand and its production capabilities.
