Sorry, I know I'm a little late to help with you this, but the ATF will issue a certified copy for a lost stamp. They won't actually give you another stamp, but you shouldn't have to start the process over. You paid your tax. You were approved.Got ya beat! Bought one in 2020. The ATF says they sent the stamp but it never arrived at the FFL. ATF would not restamp it. Finally have asked the FFL to Form3 it back to Capitol Armory so I could start the process all over again!! (Wonder if they'll pay me interest....?) Coming up on 2 years in July

I had to do this a few years ago with the fiasco that some may remember about the dealer (Edmonds, WA, I believe) that went out business during an ugly divorce. The ATF actually lost my original request for a duplicate so I had to submit for that twice but I eventually got a copy with the ATF signature for approval and an embossed seal (but no stamp). Once I finally got the copy from the ATF I was able to go to the dealer to retrieve my can. Now, in that case, it probably helped that the dealer and local ATF bubbas were aware of the situation, but process is the same.
