A local pawn shop I frequent had a 1903 colt with the serial number polished off. He applied to ATF for a serial number assignment and had one within a couple weeks. I was surprised at how simple it seemed to be. If I were truly interested in that gun and it was for sale by a dealer, I would consider that route. And I too have at least one revolver in my collection that was run thru NICS with the assembly number in the crane area.
