I just wanted to let everyone know that I finally accomplished shipping the Lugers from Yemen to the States.
For those interested, it was a pretty long process. Our initial application to the BATF was rejected on the basis of the Lugers being military. They stipulated that they must go through a licensed importer. However, Simpson's Ltd. was very helpful in this regard. Total time from application to receipt in the States was 9 months.
The beauracracy on the Yemen side was just as bad but circumvented with baksheesh.
I wanted to thank John Sabato for all his guidance. John, you are a gentleman!
Thor has got hold of two of them now, I can't wait to receive them!
