Years back I was at an antique shop on the 49er Trail in California. There was a 1910 Baby Hammerless .22 short in a display case marked $40. I asked to take a look- it was bound up but I was intrigued, so I bought it. It's probably not worth much, and I've never bothered to fix it. I was surprised that I was able to hand over some cash and walk out with in- especially in CA.

Likely pre-1898, they were from a different time when you could get away with shooting a dog that attacked your bicycle

Looks like one I saw in an antique/general store in Quechee, Vt. last fall. That one was pretty rough.

Anything made prior to 1898 is legally an antique. OK to buy, own, and sell.

Actually, the antique status runs through to December 31, 1898.

Wouldn't an 1878 gun be considered a legal "antique" and thus exempt from GCA 68 and other "gun laws"? (Asking for a friend who watches Rick buy antique guns on Pawn Stars alla time.)

Most states, a private transactions between local citizens is just that...private.

Most states, a private transactions between local citizens is just that...private.

Actually, that's true in ALL states. Now, as to whether or not such transactions are LEGAL in various states, that's a completely different matter entirely.
