No Ma'am there was no registry in 1873

Had a similar one recently. I bought an old SxS shotgun made in 1873. The thing was previously registered and I had the reg cert. Call to make the transfer and they are all worried about the make and model and markings on the gun.

I said, "the gun is already registered, just put the stuff that is on the old certificate on the new certificate".

I had to remind them that as there was no gun registry in 1873, the maker didn't see fit to mark the gun in a manner acceptable to the modern registry. They just don't seem to get that at all.
