I guess this relates to Lugers as much as any other firearm. Here in the US, one thing has bothered me for the last 10-20 years. I would like to get some other views and opinions...and if agreement, what can be done about it. Here goes. The 68 GCA specified that any firearm made before 1898 was classed as an "antique firearm" as opposed to a Firearm. At that time, that would mean any "gun" 70 years old or older. Now, almost 34 years later, the standard for an antique firearm is 104 years old (in 3 weeks). This seems a bit crazy and un-fair, not to say that many other laws and policies are not also, but normally antique status is bestowed based on an age of the item (I believe that with cars it's 25 years? for example). At this rate even 300 year old guns will not be considered antiques (in 196 years!). Am I crazy or is this provision? I will not likley live to see my WWII guns reach the 100 year old mark, but God willing, I may live to see my WWI era arms reach that age. I would be nice and correct if they were officialy considered antiques. By the way, consider that when the GCA was passed that in todays terms...anything made before 1932 would be an antique.
