Provenance of firearm

Likely depends on the firearm. I know companies like S&W keep pretty good records and will (for a fee) send you a letter with the history of the firearm. At least when it was manufactured and if it was part of a shipment to a particular agency or it was a custom piece made especially for someone famous.
Not sure if a manufacturer would have any way to know if one of their pieces was given as some sort of retirement gift unless it was a custom ordered piece specifically made for that person.
I think you're looking for "provenance".

Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

Depending on the make and what not I hear the Cody Firearm Museum in Cody Wyoming does some of that.
If you want peace, prepare for war.
Rgr. Thxs. And yes, thanks for the correct "providence", lol.
