Just a little surprised

You can take that Social Security number and see if the previous owner is dead or not by searching the internet. I had a pistol once the was given to me by my mother and it had a SS number on it so I checked it out-it was my deceased mother's SS#.

Were you surprised by this? It would be like sending off your DNA and having it come back saying you’re exactly what you thought you were. What if the SS# came back as some guy across town that you’ve never heard of and through some research you found out he was your real father.

Lol, are you high?

Obviously he didn't know it was his Mom's SS# - not many of us have those memorized.

Kudos if you do.

Haha I just like making jokes.

He said his mother gave it to him and then it was his mothers SS# on it. Am I missing something?

Unless I knew she bought it new, my Mom's SS# on a gun she owned would be the last thing I'd expect.

Maybe it's just me...

Who puts their SS #'s on a gun? I had the gun for two-three years before I really looked at it and thought, maybe she bought it from someone so I checked it out on the net. At one time you could put your SS# on your trailer, tools or electronic equipment in case it was stolen-but not these days.

. Yeah, you are making an assumption that is incorrect. Do you know your mother's Social Security number? Some people don't even know their own....

I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk that I bought about 14 years ago at a gun show that has what I'm assuming is a last name & a SS number scratched into the frame under the grips.
Would never see it unless the grips are removed.
I have never tried to track down any info on the numbers or name.

Did you at least make an offer in the 400's range?

I might go back and splain to em that it kills much of the value
