I just got a Herbert Schmidt .22lr revolver from my Grandfathers Estate. How can I register it with no serial number? Please help. I live in Michigan if that matters.

Thanks in advance!!

  Herbert Schmidt revolvers were made in Germany and imported/sold into the States during the 60's/70's time frame. Most definitely they should have a serial number. If yours doesn't, there is something wrong. As the HS revolvers were inexpensive mediocre quality handguns that sold for less then $100, for even their best model. You should consider getting rid of it before it gets you into way more trouble then it's worth. My 2?.

  Thanks for the advice. There is no place on the revolvers that appears to have been damaged from removing the serial number so I assume it was made and shipped prior to 1968

  Hello Rifles and Shotguns could be made and sold until 1968 .HOWEVER pistols had to have serial numbers after 1934. Take the grips off to see if there is a serial number. If Not I agree I would not keep this item in my home.

  MI state firearms laws are very complicated. It appears to me that you may not possess a pistol without a permit. But, there may be a local exemption, or an exception for an inherited pistol; unless you hear from a forum member who is an expert on MI law, you would be wise to consult with local law enforcement before taking possession of this revolver.

  I own a HS21 model. The serial number on mine is located on the bottom of the frame forward of the trigger guard.
