Yes. The frame (also called the reciever) is the portion with a serial number (for modern day handguns) and legally, that IS the firearm. Everything else is just parts.

What is the coiled wire that is attached to or plugged into the handle of military pistols?
Coiled wire? Most military pistols have a fabric lanyard which is attached to rings in the frame of the pistol for the sake of preventing a loss if it should slip out of the holster. In some cases, this may be a coiled type of semi-elastic material.

Where is the serial number found on a pistol?
The serial number in modern guns is stamped into the portion of the gun that is considered the receiver by the ATF where it will be visible. For most steel pistols this would be on the side of the frame If the gun has a plastic frame, such as a Glock pistol, a strip of metal is stamped with the serial number and is molded into the frame. For some pistols, like Kel-Tec, the receiver is not the frame but the metal frame insert and the serial number is on the rear of the insert under the hammer slot. On revolvers the serial number is usually stamped on the butt portion of the frame. Sometimes grips need to be removed to see it. Sometimes the serial number or the last digits of the serial number are also stamped onto other parts of the gun, such as the slide, to identify the parts as belonging to that particular gun, however, the only serial number that matters legally is always on the frame.

Where is the serial number located on a Savage 380 model 1915 automatic pistol?
The serial number on all Savage automatic pistols (model 1907, model 1915, and model 1917, all in .32 and .380) will be found just under the barrel at the front edge of the frame. Early model 1907 pistols will have the s/n on the bottom of the frame, while later model 1907 and all other models will have the s/n on the front of the frame. All .380 Savage pistols will start or end with the letter "B" -- the first few hundred (all are model 1907 pistols) start with "B," while all the rest end with "B." It is not uncommon for the "B" to be misread as an "8." FYI, the "hammerless" model 1915 is the rarest production Savage automatic pistol, and the .380 model 1915 is the rarer of these. About 6500 .32 model 1915 pistols were made in 1915-1916 (approx s/n 130000 - 136500) and about 3900 .380 model 1915 pistols were made in 1915-1917 (approx s/n 10000B - 13900B).

Can you give me some information on a Winchester pistol model 32gtg serial 336?
To the best of my knowledge, the Winchester company never made a production pistol. The New Haven Arms Company which was formed to continue production of the Volcanic pistol, designed by Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson, produced by Volcanic Repeating Arms Company was eventually bought out by Oliver Winchester and that company became Winchester Repeating Arms. Winchester went on to produce rifles and shotguns, but no pistols. About 700 of the small frame, .31 caliber Volcanic pistols were produced. If you have one of those, have it professionally appraised. In addition, there are numerous books on Winchester history that will discuss this pistol.
