    Nope, its been in the USA for at least 30 years.
    BTW I used to live near IMA antiques in Pennsylvania (the folks who snagged the Nepalese horde).
    They'd ship ANYTHING made before 1899 to anywhere in the world.
    Like Colt revolvers, plenty capable to fire modern ammunition!
    They've since then stopped shipping hand-guns but still operate under the assumption that any long gun is gtg for international shipping if it was made before Jan 1 1899.

    I cautioned them in the past that they could get in deep trouble if they shipped say a Martini Henry rifle to certain European countries, as they fire fixed ammunition.
    I was told I was flat wrong on this and that they were far smarter and more informed than I.
