No background check existed then. As far as I know NICS didn't come about until the Brady Act in 1993 but wasn't online until ~97-98.
However, I believe you've had to fill out the 4473 or equivelent since the passing of 68GCA. So if you were buying from a dealer you had to fill out the form. Person to Person sales would have depended on state law at the time, whether you had to use a ffl to transfer or not, I'm guessing not.
