Many early ones may not have a serial number. If they do, it will most likely be on the side of the receiver. There is a small chance it will be inside, after you remove the barrel.
Unable to answer as asked. Is it already a shotgun or will it be built from a virgin receiver?

The water table is the part of the receiver that the barrels of a double barrel or single shot break-action shotgun rest on.
Manufactured between 1886 and 1916.
There is no "break in" shotgun. A "break open" shotgun is a single barrel, double barrel, or combination rifle/shotgun which breaks open in the sense that a lever will unlock the action, allowing the barrel to pivot at a hinge at the front of the receiver, pivoting the rear of the barrel up to expose the chamber. A shells may be loaded into the chamber and the barrel pivoted back to close the action. The act to "break in" a shotgun means to fire it a few times to loosen it up.

Single barrel, double barrel or pump? There are numerous models. However, most of them retail for under $250 in good, shootable condition. If unshootable, they're only worth anything as parts.
