Marquage, Enregistrement et Traçage des Armes

C'est essentiellement l'apposition de la marque et du numéro de série qui permet d'engager utilement une recherche de traçabilité efficace.

En effet, il n'existe pas de disposition spécifique législative ou réglementaire sur le marquage des armes. Cependant, conformément à la pratique en vigueur, les armes à feu de toutes catégories sont identifiées par:

- une marque commerciale (nom du fabricant),
- un numéro de série, alphanumérique (numéro matricule directeur),
- le calibre du canon
