Find a lawyer who specializes in firearms law before you do anything. It must have a serial number on it somewhere. Did you check the butt? If the grips cover the butt, did you take them off? Did you check in the yoke area where the model number is stamped? The sn should be below the model number. If you still can't find the serial number, one of the following probably happened: 1. A heavy handed refinish job that removed the sn to naked eye observation. It should be able to be brought up with the right chemicals/procedures. 2. A deliberate effort to remove the serial number - which is a federal offense. Again, it should be able to be brought up and restamped. 3. A "sanitized" or "sterilized" piece made for a government agency or one of the armed forces - unlikely, but possible. What's it worth? Worst case - a federal fine and a stay at one of the federal correctional facilities. Next best case - you don't go to jail and have it transferred to a museum or an agency that will accept it. Best case - you don't go to jail and get to keep it after BATFE puts a sn on it. Like I said, find a lawyer who does firearms cases for a living before you do anything else.

Please advise if you know what the model number of a Smith Wesson airweight 38 spl ctg - The serial number starts with a 'J'?
Airweight was the name S & W gave to their early aluminum alloy frame handguns. I believe that they were all built on their "J" frame, hence the J prefix. If your handgun has an exposed hammer it is a Model 37 Chief Special Airweight, if the hammer is covered by a shroud it is a Model 38 Bodyguard Airweight. I believe that the model # should be visable by opening the the cylinder and looking at the point where the cylinder yoke indexes when the when closed.
