ATF has a program that will re-serial number firearms that have had them defaced after being stolen for instance. It requires that ATF ships the firearm to their lab who then re-inscribe/apply a number. I don't know if they will re install the old number all the cases I have been involved in they just assigned a new number and shipped it back. May cost a few bucks but for a family heir loom I would investigate the option.
