7 letters and numbers on a modern revolver. Older guns could have fewer characters. The serial is usually stamped on the frame ahead of the cylinder, under the yolk when you open the cylinder. Any other numbers would usually be markings placed by the end user (military unit identification, police identification and such).
Older ones of what?
Cars older than 1970 do not have VIN numbers. ?æThey have serial numbers. ?æThe serial number is stamped on a plate to the firewall on the passenger side.
A lot of older lower end rifles and shot guns didn't have serial numbers. The fed didn't require guns to have unique serial numbers until after WW2
Some older models of S&W revolvers you have to remove the grips to find the serial numbers engraved on the grip frame.
Most F&Ws that HAD a serial number had it stamped on the butt- and stamped on the rear of the cylinder. LEGALLY, the one on the butt is the serial number. Many older guns did not have serial numbers, especially lower cost guns.
On older weapons such as yours, serial numbers did not exist as they were not required by the government then. I don't know exactly when it was produced. Somewhere between 1900 and 1920.
It would really help if you stated the model number. Also most older Benjamin serial numbers began with a "B" or "H" or "T".
Mismatched serial numbers are a moderately rare error. Depending on the bill's condition it could retail for $100 to $300. Serial numbers are printed by two separate counter wheels, a bit like the odometer used on older cars. Normally the counters are linked together but sometimes one will stick, causing them to print different numbers.

I was told by Tiffany co. that their older watch records were destroyed in a fire. They cannot provide any information about the origin of older (turn of the century) watches.
Finding VIN numbers on old cars can be a tricky business because the area where they were placed was not uniform for all manufacturers. Older Fords usually had a serial number on the door frame or door itself. Some other manufacturers put the serial numbers on the firewall. VIN numbers were not uniformly installed in vehicles until the late 1960's.
