GCA 1968 (the Gun Control Act of 1968) established federal law that all firearms had to have a permanent unique serial number stamped on the body of the firearm, usually the reciever. Up until that time, most firearms had serial numbers except for some lower priced arms such as .22 rifles.

There are probably several guns with that serial number. Serial numbers are not unique to one single firearm - they often aren't even unique to one firearm from the same manufacturer. We'd need a lot more information to determine what type of firearm it is.
