Your FFL you purchased it from will have that info for you. If it was purchased from Bud's then a quick call to them at 859-368-0371 Monday thru Friday 9am to 9pm or you can use the blue chat button at the bottom right corner of your screen will get you that serial # info.
Shjon, as others have mentioned your best option is to contact the FFL dealer/gunshop that did the transfer or the seller that you bought it from. If you bought it from buds you can contact them at 859-368-0371 Monday thru Friday 9am to 9pm or you can use the blue chat button at the bottom right corner of your screen. We're just customers as yourself not buds employees so we can only point you in the right direction. Sorry that happened but hope this helps some.
Hi Shjon, you should be able to go to your FFL that did the transfer for the Serial Number. Seller may be able to provide the Serial Number as well. Going forward, take photo's of all your Serial Numbers with your phone for records. Cheers and stay safe!

Best way to get that would be to go to the FFL that did the transfer and ask them for the serial. They would have the transfer paperwork, like the 4473, which would have that info. That is unless yall did the transfer more than 20 years ago, after 20 years they hand that paperwork to the ATF.
