With historic firearms, disassociation can happen when the weapon is disassembled for cleaning or the firing pins are removed to deter theft or accidental firing. Without proper labeling and tracking, the parts may be lost. Serial numbers and maker's marks can be removed if the firearm is cleaned with abrasive chemicals.
Antique firearms can be divided into two basic types: muzzle-loading and cartridge firing. Muzzleloading antique firearms are not generally owned with the intent of firing them (although original muzzleloaders can be safely fired, after having them thoroughly inspected), but instead are usually owned as display pieces or for their historic value.
