Firearms don't have registration numbers, they have serial numbers. No way to know who was the first to put a number on a firearm.

Military firearms have had serial numbers for many years, to aid in the accounting for large numbers of identical guns.

Serial numbers were not required by law in the US until the 1934 National Firearms Act reqired them on machine guns and handguns. The 1968 Gun Control Act required them on newly made rifles and shotguns.

The basic answer is no, but there are two parts to the answer. First, only a few states require gun registration on regular handguns and long guns. There is no national registration. Second, in the few states that do require registration, the information is not generally availble to the public.
