I can tell you that these three antiques went into their books:
Syracuse, NY pre-1887 LC Smith Quality 3 double.
Pre-1890 W&C Scott double.
JP Clabrough serial number 970.

It could be simply a store policy to enter everything into the book. I was told it was Colorado law that all firearms are required to have a serial number to transfer. There are many shotguns manufactured without serial numbers. My Stevens double certainty doesn’t have one.
