From the day they started making them.
In the late 1890,s as far as I am aware of.
Chanel began incorporating serial numbers on its sunglasses in the early 1990s. This practice was part of the brand's efforts to combat counterfeiting and ensure authenticity. The serial numbers are typically found on the inside of the temple or frame of the sunglasses.
The 12 gauge Deerfield Model 67X began incorporating serial numbers in 1968. Prior to this year, the shotguns did not have serial numbers, making it easier to identify those manufactured after this change. The addition of serial numbers helped with tracking production and ownership.
It began in the 1800s. In 1934, US law required SNs on all handguns and machineguns. In 1968 law required them on rifles and shotguns. Prior to 1968, some long guns had serial numbers, some did not.
Serial numbers that started w/23000 are dated form 1911-1912 . 1912 serial numbers start w/ 26000

No specific characters. Glock serial numbers for a long time now have been 3 letters, then 3 numbers.
Believe that your serial number is incorrect. There are no BT99 serial numbers that start with 47. There are however serial numbers that begin with 74 which is the year (1974)that they were made.
Gucci began incorporating serial numbers into their products in the late 1980s. The serial numbers were introduced as a way to authenticate their items and combat counterfeiting. Each serial number typically consists of a combination of numbers that can be found on a leather tag inside the product. This practice helps customers verify the authenticity of their Gucci purchases.
