Do the modern 1858's have serial numbers on the frames? If so, where would you typically find them?

They have one on the butt. My thinking is that repros have proof marks and date codes on the right side of the frame. If these are removed it usually shows as a shallow spot. Sometimes they try to hide them with pits or dings.
