    my dad recently showed me a browing model 1910 german pistol. it is all black with the initals N.F. on the top of the grip on both sides. everywhere there is a serial number there is a lufewaffe right beside it. i was told that the browing company was probably taken over by the nazis and they stamped all the guys. i was wanting to know any info on this gun itself or the history of the stamping of the lufewaffe on these guns. thank you.

    What can anyone tell me about Winchester Model 1893, and is it acceptable for CAS? Also, I have a unique rifle I would like to find the history on. It is The Hamilton Rifle No 27, 22 cal. Patented Oct 30, 1900 Aug 13, 1907. MFD by CJ Hamilton & Son, Plymouth, Michigan, USA. It is just tiny and looks like a gun made for a small child.

    We can't help you. Contact your local badge boys, they have access to whats called the ncic data base. This is where the serial numbers of stolen firearms are kept/listed.

    Some departments will only run guns as part of an investigation or an inquiry by officers in the field. Hopefully yours will do it. If you go in and be polite, they may run it for you.

    MOST are not going to run an NCIC check without having the item in hand. Too embaraasing to get a stolen- where is it? Followed by Uh- I don't have it....

    Tell the seller that you need him, and the gun to meet you at the local cop shop to run a search on the gun he wants to sell you. If he says, "fine! I'll meet you there," you probably can bye with confidence without the NCIC search. If it is stolen, you'll probably never hear from the guy again.

    Gents- I do not THINK that is the NCICS system that those link to.

    Trace is a very reputable, insurance carrier backed company that's been involved in the worldwide stolen items database business for years.

    The need for public queries of stolen items databases - such as the case with the original poster - was recognized and the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Systems/Advisory Policy Board decided to grant public access to NCIC's stolen article files through Trace back in '06-'07. To my knowledge they remain the sole non-law enforcement NCIC access point.

    Google it up.
