Probably not. Weapons might be issued, turned in, reissued to someone else, etc.
It would be almost impossible to identify a gun just by its serial number.
Basically impossible to identify with just the serial number.
I was told by a gun collector that a five digit number on an imported derringer is not a serial number- it is a lot number ( a serial number should be at least 6 digits) what about the proof markings on the gun? can this identify the company or date or just the country of origin?
with the serial number , any driveline shop will be ablle to identify the transmission
Serial is a number. For example, a car has a model and year to identify it by made and model, and then it has a serial number to further identify it down to it's individual number. It's similar to 1964 Aston Martin DB5 serial number 007.

If serial number information has been published, you can search through it.
No, a BMX bike's serial number does not uniquely identify it as a BMX bike. Serial numbers are used for tracking purposes and do not indicate the type of bike.
The serial number by itself doesn't identify a specific model.
Not with just the serial number.
No, a specialized bike cannot be identified solely by its serial number.
USAYou can't. A US soldier's serial number was assigned to the soldier when he enlisted, which was before he was ever assigned to a division. And it was possible that he could transfer to a different unit. For an enslisted man, the serial number would only identify the region(or service command) of the country from where he enlisted. It also distinguished between regular army and national guard. The serial number was recorded on their dog tag or ID plate. This link below gives the information that was printed on the dog tag and the meaning of the serial number.http://home.att.net/%7Esteinert/us_army_ww2_dog_tags.htmThere are other ways to track down the soldier. Someone showed me a dogtag that was found in a barn in Italy. I asked a genealogy expert to research his family and find his enlistment records(which are available on-line). Going through the family history for the place and date of his enslistment, it was easy to track down this unusual surname. A surviving family member was found and the dogtag returned to his daughter.Read about this and see a photo of the dogtag at this link:http://www.custermen.com/Reference/MailBag.htmI agree that it's, at least, difficult to find the unit. However, if you're a family member and have the soldier's serial number, the Dept. of Veterans Affairs will be most cooperative (tho' slow) to provide all that they have of the soldier's "service record" during the war. A large part of the Army record collection was destroyed by fire at the archives, however, so best of luck in your search.German WW2The German soldier wore a dogtag that did identify the soldier's unit and an ID number.
