At the other end, under US Federal law, guns made before 1899 are considered "antique" and exempt from many transfer laws. Please keep in mind this ONLY applies on a case by case basis with models and serial numbers confirmed to date before 1899, and some states have different rules. Always check with a knowledgeable smith or dealer. Many dealers will not support antiques and treat them as modern firearms for transfer purposes, for legal liability and safety.
