Serialized firearm parts, such as silencers, are identified using plates permanently affixed to the parts by welding, brazing, riveting, pinning and welding or other permanent techniques. Methods of effecting repair or replacement of silencers and silencer parts employ removing the plates by drilling or machining the welds and permanently affixing the plate to a replacement part.

There is provided systems and methods for generating a multi-layered watermark. The watermark incorporating one or more symbols for placement on a document. The method including: positioning a base layer of the watermark at one or more locations on the document; positioning the one or more symbols overtop of at least a portion of the base layer; and positioning a braid layer of the watermark overtop of the ID, the braid layer and the base layer are substantially aligned, the braid layer including a copy of the base layer incorporating a pattern. The pattern can include one or more of discolorations, holes, and sections of increased opacity.
