Probably not because the Federal Government did not require the firearm manufacturers to put a serial number on a firearm until 1968, which was when the Federal Firearms law went into effect requiring registration of all firearms purchased. So many firearms manufactured by some of the more popular companies did not even have serial numbers on them. Also there was not a requirement for a manufacturer to put a manufacturer name or brand/model name on a firearm until 1898 when the first federal firearms act was enacted and actually went into effect in 1899. This law also made all "guns" manufactured prior to 1899 not classified as a firearm and subject to Federal Laws and regulations. There were a lot of companies making firearms years ago because they were pretty much in demand and basically unregulated. I have found this information during my quest for some knowledge on some old strange name and no name firearms. Good Luck. Wild Bill from Minnesota
