I just had to do a dispersal as a POA/primary for a living estate auction for an uncle who had a collection including full rock and roll he took out of the hand of the VC he just subdued. and of all this - even working for the US treasury - I have learned that no one consistently knows the law. In fact, I got 3 radically different story's from the local PSP troop within a 48 hour span - each of which could have cost me my federale-ship. It was actually a local cop knew the correct verses.
btw - the govt list of who has what is far more complete than you know and is ever publicized. Saw it first hand.
However, its history is far less lengthy than you know and the govt claims. anything pre-1990 is likely off book and in the ether.
research and follow the law for the city, county state you are in. cuz in this instance, a foul does not just affect the object in question, but will refer back to ALL the objects you own and in some city, county, states - its permanent.
when in doubt, talk to an auctioneer that has his adjacent state FFLs. Their life and freedom depends on it.
LEO’s from local yokels up to Fed alphabet soup agency LEO’s, are the last people I would ever go to for legal information regarding gun laws, NFA issues, etc. The amount of disinformation and outright illegal “advice” they dispense is stunning. FFL’s are generally better, but there are plenty that really don’t know their stuff, and get some things horribly wrong.
For those who aren’t really in the know and are looking for sound advice, good luck. It can be a real minefield out there.
Since it was purchase thru an FFL it’s already ‘on the books’. If there is something I need to be concerned about with people on the internet ‘copying a serial number’ for some nefarious purpose- do tell what that may be?
My lisc plate is very public. It’s seen everyday.
Yes, your license plate is very public, but did you ever wonder why the news blurs it?
I am not really talking about federales, although what RetireinPA says is true.
Probably shouldn't have a photo of your wife's credit card receipt on here, either. IIRC, that was you, and I am glad it is no longer on here. (Someone deleted the picture, but, when I saw it, I logged you as female, which turned out, apparently incorrect.)
I have just learned, over the years, never underestimate what kinds of evil is in this world.
And never underestimate who might be gathering information.
(I figure, the bad guys ARE going to gather info, so, the good guys ought to, also.)

No CC number on the receipt, which was for primers a few years ago as I recall. There was a limit of 1,000 per, so I bought one, my wife bought one, my daughter bought one, and my good friend Vitto bought one. Ah fun times....
Here’s the thing- If you are concerned about serial numbers, license plates, photos, receipts or whatever-you follow your own conscious.
As for me? I’m really not all that concerned. The FFL has my serial numbers, the public sees my vehicle plates and can look or photograph my vin, if someone steals my credit card number or fraudulently charges on it- I can report it or charge back with the CC company (which has happened 3x in my life with internet charges / breaches of data). My photo? I don’t care if anyone sees my mug. If someone is bent on finding me in Montana- have at it.
All of my immediate families PII has been stolen thanks to the large data breach via OPM. A serial number and photo of a rifle at least lets others know that I have, um, a firearm. Or 30. Maybe.
Oh, you mean recording plainly visible license plate numbers? How do the bad guys know which license plates to record, and what will they do with the information?
It encompassed individuals that required security clearances. It roped a ton of people into the breach.
