Tom,
I am under the impression that to qualify as an antique per BATFE rules, the gun must be manufactured prior to 1898. So even if a gun is 100 years old, it still is not considered an antique. This applies to manufacture year, not model year so a C96 Conehammer is considered an antique, but a C96 Red-9 is not and requires Federal paperwork.
It is obvious that George's guns are old soldiers...not only do they look great, they still know how to stand formation
