Status of an Antique Colt

I have an 1883 Colt SAA I am going to sell, matching numbers, black powder frame. In the 1950s an early 2nd gen .45 barrel and cylinder were installed on the gun. I am trying to confirm the gun is still an antique. C&Rs must be in their original condition per the 1968 GCA. I have found nothing saying that of antiques. I have searched the ATF site, and there is nothing addressing this situation. I have called 20 ATF field offices, and get nothing but voice mailboxes. Anyone have any experience with this?

CT is not one of these states yet , so you could sell directly to a person with no ffl . PM and we can talk.
This ^^^! Russian Mosins are a good example, the Finns were rebuilding receivers made prior to 1/1/1899, clear into the late 1960's, and are still classified "Antique". Modifications only apply to "C&R" classified firearms, not "Antiques".
