could the experts confirm or reject my understanding of the fed definition of curios and/or relics. any firearm is a curio and/or relic if it is more than 50 years old from the present date. i recognize there are other qualifying categories for these types but im concerned about the age spec. thanx.

  I have a .25cal. LIBIA semi-automatic pistol and have no idea of it's age. Doe it qualify as a CURIO and RELIC? It appears to be a Spanish knockoff of the 1905 Browning. It is marked FABRIQUE D'ARMES DEGUERRE GRANDE PRECISION "LIBIA" PATENT DEPOSE No 69094 WITH NO SERIAL NUMBER. i CANNOT FIND IT LISTED IN THE GUN TRADERS GUIDE.
  Thanks,
  Lenny

  You are correct on the age of c&r guns. The law reads......(a)Firearms which were manufactured atleast 50 years prior to the current date,but not including replicas thereof;

  jim_lemay,That is absolutely incorrect. That only applies to REPRODUCTIONS of antique firearms. It has nothing to do with C&R firearms or original antiques.[This message has been edited by EOD Guy (edited 03-06-2002).]
