I have a Springfield Savage single barrel 20 guage shotgun with a plastic stock and forend. I cannot locate the serial number. The number 94B is above the triger guard on the right hand side. Any suggestions?...wjw

  If it was made prior to 1968, it may well NOT have a SN at all.

  Thanks TG, I've had it since the fifties, but am surprised that no serial number was required....wjw

  I don't know whether your gun has a serial number, but a lot of break-open shotguns have the serial number on the water table. You have to remove the barrels from the frame to see it.

  Again, the gun may not have a serial number but if it is not on the outside of the frame/receiver, look for it on the breech face , inside of the frame wall or on the bottom of the barrel lug.

  Until the 1968 Gun Control Act, serial numbers were not required by law on shotguns and rifles. I collect older Mossberg 22s and shotguns. Out of a dozen, only the 22s made for the US govt wear a serial number. My Remington 550s and 550-1s have no serial number. They go in my bound volume as NSN- No Serial Number.
