could the experts confirm or reject my understanding of the fed definition of curios and/or relics. any firearm is a curio and/or relic if it is more than 50 years old from the present date. i recognize there are other qualifying categories for these types but im concerned about the age spec. thanx.

    Hey guy's I recently got my C&R and just purchased a Vz24. Im wondering if there are any online forms for cataloging purchased firearms? I received a booklet from the ATF and it gives an example of one with the obvious, Date of purchase, serial #, manufacturer etc etc but I'm wondering if there is an official one out there somewhere I can download or print off. I want to be to the T legally speaking but I cant seem to find anything online and most of the linked pages to the ATF website are broken links. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a .25cal. LIBIA semi-automatic pistol and have no idea of it's age. Doe it qualify as a CURIO and RELIC? It appears to be a Spanish knockoff of the 1905 Browning. It is marked FABRIQUE D'ARMES DEGUERRE GRANDE PRECISION "LIBIA" PATENT DEPOSE No 69094 WITH NO SERIAL NUMBER. i CANNOT FIND IT LISTED IN THE GUN TRADERS GUIDE.
    Thanks,
    Lenny

    You are correct on the age of c&r guns. The law reads......(a)Firearms which were manufactured atleast 50 years prior to the current date,but not including replicas thereof;

    jim_lemay,That is absolutely incorrect. That only applies to REPRODUCTIONS of antique firearms. It has nothing to do with C&R firearms or original antiques.[This message has been edited by EOD Guy (edited 03-06-2002).]
