I'm assuming that the husband is himself not a prohibited person.

The Pa State Police will likely have a record showing a transfer to the ex wife, but that really means very little, since a subsequent transfer between spouses requires no paper trail. The fact that the husband has it is prima facie evidence of a transfer.

Worst case scenario, the new wife shoots a perp, the police run the serial number from manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to ex-wife (or they just plug the number into the computer and it spits out the last reported transfer). They ask Wife #2, where did you get this? She answers, from hubby. They ask hubby, he says from ex-wife. The circle is closed, no questions remain, except whether the shooting was justified.

Thanks GunLawyer001, This is what my way of thinking was on this situation. I also agree with the pp that it is a very cheap priced firearm and is easily replaceable if I have any doubts.

Thanks again.
