That is usually the serial number - applied by the manufacturer in accordance with US Federal requirements, re: the National Firearms Act of 1934 as amended in 1968. This is the number by which all firearms are individually identified during all stages of their lives.

some firearms were produced without serial number, but as of 1968 all firearms are SUPPOSED to have a serial number. I don't believe any 38 specials were made without a serial number, unless of foreign make......................
Firearms built prior to 1969 weren't required to have a serial number, and many didn't. Nixon signed the law requiring all firearms to have serial numbers in 1969.
Inventory tracking for firearms. BTW, ammunition does not have a serial number.
To determine the manufacturing date of a Colt firearm, including the National Match .38 Special with serial number 9271MR, you would typically reference Colt's serial number lookup resources or a Colt historian. Generally, Colt firearms from the 1970s to early 1980s can be identified by their serial number formats, but specific dates require detailed records. For the most accurate information, consider contacting Colt directly or consulting a dedicated firearms database or expert.
GCA 1968 (the Gun Control Act of 1968) established federal law that all firearms had to have a permanent unique serial number stamped on the body of the firearm, usually the reciever. Up until that time, most firearms had serial numbers except for some lower priced arms such as .22 rifles.
Yes. Winchester put sn's on most of its firearms.
