Can I realise a kindle 2011 is special offer or not just base on its serial number?

The one that has advertising screensavers and an ad banner at the bottom of the home page?

I don't think there is a unique serial number system for the Special Offers model. If you got them both delivered at the same time, it might be impossible to tell them apart while they are still sealed in their boxes. If they shipped separately then the invoice should show the SO price difference on one model. Otherwise you might have to take one out of the sealed box to see which model it is by turning it on and looking for the things @DiapDealer mentioned.

If you bought them directly from Amazon, log in to your account, Go to the Manage My Kindle section, and then Manage your devices. It should show you both Kindles linked to your account, the serial number and whether they are subscribed to special offers.

If you bought them elsewhere you can follow essentially the same process, but you will need to manually enter the serial numbers to register them to your account. Once you know which is which, you can de-register the one you are giving to your friend.
