Prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968, shotguns and rimfire rifles did not require a serial number.
As for the patsy plant rifle, the serial number is likely on the left hand side of the receiver, or covered by the front scope base. Mauser 98s from many countries have the serial number in those locations.
Of course, but they were not legally required. Look up some old Stevens shotguns and .22s for an example. The Hardware Store brand shotguns and .22s.

Yep. Centerfire Rifle…One of the best bolt action service rifles ever made.
