Antique Gun Registry
Does there exist a registry/data base for antique firearms amongst police depts or pawn shops? It would be utilized to identify stolen guns.

No. As most antique firearms do not have serial numbers, a registry would be difficult if not impossible. In fact, I'll go so far as to say impossible. 0 -
Antique firearm. (a) Any firearm (including any firearm with a
matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition
system) manufactured in or before 1898; and (b) any replica of any
firearm described in paragraph (a) of this definition if such replica
(1) is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional
centerfire fixed ammunition, or (2) uses rimfire or conventional
centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the
United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary
channels of commercial trade.
So just because a gun is old does not make it an Antique......0 -

Conversely, just because a gun is classified as an "antique" (blackpowder replica) does not necessarily make it old!0
