If it's a S&W it has a serial number in at least one of the places mentioned,( or on the front strap for certain models). The one that counts is the one on the bottom of the butt or on the frontstrap. Have you removed the grips to check the bottom of the grip frame?
There is the possibility, if the gun has been extensively modified in the grip area, that the serial was remarked on the side of the grip frame underneath the stock panels.
If there is no number in at least one of the last two mentioned places, it has been removed and the gun is technically contraband.
