    Nice gun...but are you sure it's 110 years old? Because the cut off year for antiques is actually 1898 - is has to have been made in or before that year, so it would need to be 112 years old to qualify :(

    Is there anywhere in law here that states 1898 as the cut off year???

    I was talking about the US (USC 921 (a)16). Sorry I should have said but I presumed Harmoniums acquired the revolver in the US, since I know he's based over here like myself. But I could be wrong.

    There is a law here that defines an antique firearm as one made in or before 1898, and that sounded like what he was talking about regarding having it shipped to your door without a license. That's how I got my 1942 Mosin Nagant built on an 1897 receiver mailed right to my door with no hassle :)

    That's the one. I was telling you about it there a while back...I've been shooting it lots since then - no more hassle with cracked cases thankfully. I got myself sorted out for background checks since then so I'm not restricted to antiques any more - but that M39 is still more fun to shoot than almost anything else! I think I like old guns more than new ones. I'm just about to send in my curio and relic license application now in fact. I presume you have one judging by the stuff I see on your youtube channel these days?
