The serial number is obviously stamped in. Don't worry about scratching it off or whatever. Should be on the receiver or the barrel near the breach. Once that rust is on there it'll be nearly impossible to get it off without taking off some of the finish. Idk how bad the rust is. I've got muskets that rust pretty easily and I've taken it off with some rough sandpaper like 200 grit and then polish it with emery cloth or machinists cloth. What you do, pull it out of a pond lol?

I'll try to get a better shot of it, it's not exactly rust but I can't think of what else to call it I found it in the attic lol See what I mean?
-
The stuff on the receiver is called bluing. That's a chemical rust to prevent rusting. When it's cleaned up its a beautiful mix of blue and browns

Ah, 94b couldn't be a serial number could it? That's all I could find
-
94B is the model number. From a little reading they were introduced in the 1920s and until 1968 they didn't have serial numbers
-
So definitely not the kind of thing to take a saw to lol

I would leave it the way it is. Depending on how the bore looks and the mechanical condition it would make a nice hunting piece. Single shots are a poor idea for home defense. You can get a used 12 gauge for $400 or less. A pump or a double barrel would be way more ideal

For now it's really all I've got, as soon as I'm of age I'm going to buy some kind of revolver
-
If you live in the us you can buy a black powder revolvers at 18 I believe
-
Isn't 18 the legal age to buy all firearms?
-
Only long arms and black powder. You have to be 21 to buy pistols
-
Ohh, that's odd Shotgun it is then

Makes no sense but that's just the way it is
