Find books on your weapon with sn data.
What is it (rifle, shotgun, handgun) and who made it? What are the markings/words on it?
No specific characters. Glock serial numbers for a long time now have been 3 letters, then 3 numbers.
No
Some manufacturers websites have serial number data available, i.e, Ruger and Browning. Proofhouse.com has serial numbers for Colt Oldguns.net has some serial numbers ArmsCollector.com has some handgun forums.

Your guess is as good as ours. Serial numbers are NOT unique to one firearm. Send some photos, and perhaps I can narrow it down for you.
Model numbers were not used before @ 1957.
That would depend on whether it is a shotgun, rifle, or handgun. Also on who made it.
by law any handgun that has had the serial number removed is an illegal pistol. good for parts
No
The letters PM in the serial number sequence indicates that your Browning HI-Power handgun was made in the year 1980.
