Steinway of unknown vintage

The piano is an S & S M and is in the shop for restringing and 
replacement of whatever else was damaged by cat urine (the owner has 27 
cats in the house). Parts of the plate guilding has been eaten away and 
there is no serial # in the usual place at the break. Neither is there 
one anywhere else visible. All I can find is "D 5659" on different case 
parts. The legs are the plain spade legs, "not the picture frame" style. 
Case refinished in black, originally mahogany.

1. Any idea where the serial # may be stamped or written?

2. Any idea how to get rid of cat urine smell?
