If DATED 1894, he doesn't even need a C and R

jonk
Because it is an ANTIQUE. However if it is a MODEL 94, it would depend on production dates... in any event, if over 50 yrs old a CR suffices yes. Priority mail is fine if an antique or if you are a dealer; otherwise has to go FedEx or UPS next day air.

    Jonk,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a weapon have to be specifically listed on the Treasury's website in order to be classified as a Curio? I think someone opens themselves up to some serious legal issues if they assume that just because a gun was made pre-1953 that it qualifies automatically.

    NO... Please read the section I have hi-lited in red... it was taken directly from the web page you provided.

    WHAT ARE CURIOS OR RELICS?

    As set out in the regulations (27 CFR 178.11), curios or relics include firearms which are of special interest to collectors by reason of some quality other than is associated with firearms intended for sporting use or as offensive or defensive weapons. To be recognized as curios or relics, firearms must fall within one of the following categories:

    1.) Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof;
    2.) Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; and
    3.) Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event. Proof of qualification of a particular firearm under this category may be established by evidence of present value and evidence that like firearms are not available except as collector's items, or that the value of like firearms available in ordinary commercial channels is substantially less.

    The firearms listed in Sections II, III, IIIA & IV are listed because they at one point had special NFA or GCA restrictions on them, or are not necessarily 50 years old yet. You can petition to have any firearm placed on the C&R list regardless of its age, and that is how some of them get on those lists.
