Do percussion doubles, made in the 1870-1880 time frame count as a gun and have to on a certificate? Are there problems shipping them out of the country? In the US they are considered to not be a gun and can he shipped or sold with few restrictions. Importing them is easy as pie for us. Are they a problem to export.
I found a nice small bore percussion double which Id like to buy and have cleaned up. Might need a reproof. Then shipped to me. Seller, a dealer, not interested in shipping it or sending it to someone else to ship it. He noted on his listing it needed to be lapped and might need a reproof. Emphasis on might. When I contacted him he claims it is too much effort to do it. So I offered to buy it as is. No good. I dont understand I am offering him his full price and to pay fair and reasonable price for everything. So its for sale but not for sale outside walk in.
