If it does not have the SN on the frame somewhere, and it appears that the SN has been removed from the butt, then you have a contraband firearm. Unless it is a pre-1899 gun, the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA-68) considers that any firearm which originally had a serial number on the frame is illegal if that original SN has been removed, changed, or defaced so that it cannot be determined. No dealer who knows anything about GCA-68 will touch it. If you wish to keep it, you should be very careful to not talk about it. There is no simple way to make it legal. Unless you happen to be arrested for some criminal act while in possession of it, there is not a whole lot to worry about. But you should never attempt to sell it.
