The title say almost it all.  I am looking for the spec on what all needs to be engraved on the Form 1 home built can?  As far as I know its name, city, state, model and Ser. #.  Does anyone have the exact specs or a link to it so I can read that?

Thanks,
Ghilly

Can anyone clarify if the info alone is sufficient, or if the info must be "labeled"?
For example, for a can that's caliber is 22 and serial is 1, with no model name (N/A) would the engraving be:

22
1
John Doe
City, ST

Or would it be

Cal 22
Serial 1
John Doe
City, ST

Labels in front of the values required by law are optional.

I primarily put the "SN:" and "CAL:" on to make it longer because it looks better to my eyes.
