To my knowledge they all had serial # on the right side of the frame just above the trigger. I suppose it could be a "lunch box gun" that was whisked out of the factory before a serial # was added. But it's most likely a pistol that was "brought home" and because it said US property, the serial # and the "United States Property" markings (found just to the front of the serial #) were ground off. I've seen quite a few ex-government models with ground off serial #s and US property markings. By the way, ATFE frowns upon any gun (with the exception of some older 22s) without serial #s. I'm not sure that there is any way to make your 1911 legal again. Maybe someone else can chime in to tell us if there is a legal way.
