Shipping an antique revolver. Is direct shipping a viable option.?

[the_great_white]

The downside on my end is that if a question arises, it could potentially cost me tens of thousands in legal fees to "prove" my innocence.

There's your answer.

There's what "should" happen, and what "could" happen. Not worth it IMO.

Wouldn't take a chance, if the buyer wants it bad enough, they want it bad enough to go to an ffl and pick it up.....

Lets say you get arrested and charged, you miss work (maybe get fired from your job for criminal activity), place in jeopardy any professional license you may have, your neighbors think you are a criminal and are leery of associating with you, you spend a night in a detention facility, hire an attorney and appear before a magistrate for a reading of the charge and then post a bond...at this point you have already spent more than you made and you have just started the process.....
Just isn't worth the risk to save someone you don't even know 20-30 dollars in transfer fee.....

Can an FFL process a gun that's not serialized ?

 

[JBWJr]

It's a collectable antique, at least to the buyer.
Ship it FFL to FFL, insured.
Even with no serial number, FFL to FFL is still the safest.
JMHO.
If it were an antique automobile, would you just pay Jose to tow it to the buyer with a rope?

Yes

There's your answer.

Exactly.

If you can prove the manufacturing date of that specific gun and it qualifies as an antique you should be good.

The folks that were let into the capitol by security on J6 shoulda been good too.

Some of you folks need to read the USPS Domestic Mail Manual. I suggest you do so soon, rather than after your arrest, trial, conviction, and subsequent incarceration.
