Have you looked on the headstock on the left hand side?  I know on mine I could hardly read it until I scratched off all the layrs of paint that had built up over the years.

Mine is almost illegible on the headstock due to overzealous restoration in the past. If you can't read the stamped numbers (even after removing paint, then the only route may be VJMC/DVLA (assume you have a reg number?)
