30day amnesty 11/2/68 to 12/1/1968.
Commonly called the 'November Amnesty'.
The GCA68 allows for future such amnesties. Simply done upon the order and direction of the BATF Director. But they have never seen a need and in fact have said it would hinder current operations and ongoing investigations and prosecutions.
Registration was done on BATF Form #4467
Here's look at one from that time :

No fingerprints,,no picture(s), no background check on the person possessing the firearm
They looked over the firearm. Filled in the form.
Signed it,, it's rubber stamped O'fficial,,
They kept the original, the registrant got the copy.
If the gun was missing a ser#, never had one, or had one that had been removed, you were told to 'contact your local IRS/ATTD office' to get one assigned.
...and see 'ya later.
