The “Introduction” section, under “Regulations Applicable to Licensed Collectors,” refers to selected regulation citations applicable to licensed collector activities. The citations listed are illustrative and are meant to emphasize current regulations affecting licensed collectors.

Updated versions are published in ATF P 5300.4, Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide1. Questions arising from these citations should refer to this publication. 1 ATF P 5300.4, Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide, can be obtained from the ATF Distribution Center (202) 648-6420. INTRODUCTION FEDERALLY LICENSED FIREARMS COLLECTORS ATF is responsible for enforcing the provisions of the GCA and its subsequent amendments. A significant part of the GCA concerns the licensing and recordkeeping requirements pertaining to the manufacture, importation, distribution, and sale of firearms. A collector of Curios or Relics may obtain a collector's license under the GCA (see 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and the regulations issued thereunder in 27 CFR Part 478). The privileges conferred by this license extend only to transactions involving weapons classified as curio or relic firearms. In transactions involving firearms not classified as Curios or Relics, the licensed collector has the same status as a nonlicensee. A person need not be federally licensed to collect Curios or Relics. Generally, persons must be licensed in order to lawfully receive Curios or Relics from outside their State of residence. The principal advantage of a Collector's License, therefore, is that a collector can acquire Curios or Relics in interstate commerce. Although a licensed collector may acquire and dispose of Curios or Relics at any location, dispositions to nonlicensees must generally be made to residents of the same State in which the collector is licensed. Further, A LICENSED COLLECTOR IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO ENGAGE IN BUSINESS AS A DEALER IN ANY FIREARMS, INCLUDING CURIOS OR RELICS. A FEDERAL FIREARMS DEALER'S LICENSE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS ACTIVITY. The term “engaged in business” as applied to a dealer in firearms refers, in part, to a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to engaging in such activity as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood and profit. Therefore, any person intending to “engage in the business” of selling firearms, including firearms defined by ATF as Curios or Relics, must first obtain a dealer’s license. For example, if a collector acquires Curios or Relics for the purpose of sale rather than to enhance a collection, the collector would have to be licensed as a dealer in firearms under the GCA. The sole intent and purpose of the collector’s license is to enable a firearms collector to obtain curio or relic firearms from outside his or her State of residence. In order to obtain a collector’s license, applicants need to prepare and submit ATF Form 7CR, Application for License (Collector of Curios or Relics), with the appropriate fee, $30 for 3 years, and in accordance with the instructions on the form. This form may be obtained from the Firearms and Explosives Licensing Center in Atlanta, Georgia, (404) 679- 5040 or from your local ATF office. WHAT ARE CURIOS OR RELICS? As set out in the regulations (27 CFR 478.11), Curios or Relics include firearms which are of special interest to collectors by reason of some quality other than is associated with firearms intended for sporting use or as offensive or defensive weapons. To be recognized as Curios or Relics, firearms must fall within one of the following categories: 1) Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof; 2) Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits firearms to be Curios or Relics of museum interest; and 3) Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event. Proof of qualification of a particular firearm under this category may be established by evidence of present value and evidence that like firearms are not available except as collector’s items, or that the value of like firearms available in ordinary commercial channels is substantially less. SELECTED REGULATIONS (27 C.F.R.) APPLICABLE TO LICENSED COLLECTORS § 478.11 Meaning of terms. Collector: Any person who acquires, holds, or disposes of firearms as Curios or Relics. Collection premises: The premises described on the license of a collector as the location at which he maintains his collection of curios and relics. Licensed collector: A collector of curios and relics only and licensed under the provisions of this part. Person: Any individual, corporation, company, association, firm, partnership, society, or joint stock company. 2 § 478.23 Right of entry and examination. (a) [A]ny ATF officer, when there is reasonable cause to believe a violation of the Act has occurred and that evidence of the violation may be found on the premises of any licensed manufacturer, licensed importer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector, may, upon demonstrating such cause before a Federal magistrate and obtaining from the magistrate a warrant authorizing entry, enter during business hours (or, in the case of a licensed collector, the hours of operation) the premises, including places of storage, of any such licensee for the purpose of inspecting or examining: 1) Any records or documents required to be kept by such licensee under this part and 2) Any inventory of firearms or ammunition kept or stored by any licensed manufacturer, licensed importer, or licensed dealer at such premises or any firearms Curios or Relics or ammunition kept or stored by any licensed collector at such premises. (c) Any ATF officer, without having reasonable cause to believe a violation of the Act has occurred or that evidence of the violation may be found and without demonstrating such cause before a Federal magistrate or obtaining from the magistrate a warrant authorizing entry, may enter during hours of operation the premises, including places of storage, of any licensed collector for the purpose of inspecting or examining the records, documents, firearms, and ammunition referred to in paragraph (a) of this section (1) for ensuring compliance with the recordkeeping requirements of this part not more than once during any 12-month period or (2) when such inspection or examination may be required for determining the disposition of one or more particular firearms in the course of a bona fide criminal investigation. At the election of the licensed collector, the annual inspection permitted by this paragraph shall be performed at the ATF office responsible for conducting such inspection in the closest proximity to the collector’s premises. (d) The inspections and examinations provided by this section do not authorize an ATF officer to seize any records or documents other than those records or documents constituting material evidence of a violation of law. If an ATF officer seizes such records or documents, copies shall be provided the licensee within a reasonable time. § 478.25a Responses to requests for information. Each licensee shall respond immediately to, and in no event later than 24 hours after the receipt of, a request by an ATF officer at the National Tracing Center for information contained in the records required to be kept by this part for determining the disposition of one or more firearms in the course of a bona fide criminal investigation. The requested information shall be provided orally to the ATF officer within the 24- hour period. Verification of the identity and employment of National Tracing Center personnel requesting information may be established at the time the requested information is provided by telephoning the toll-free number 1-800-788- 7133 or using the toll-free facsimile (FAX) number 1-800-578-7223.

    A CENTURY OF ANTIQUE GUN VALUES 7 BY GREG MartiN Greg Martin and S.P. Fjestad shown honoring the late R.L. Wilson at an Antique Arms Show in Las Vegas. n April 12, 1958, James E. Serven addressed the American relatively favorable buying opportunities may well be present and Society of Arms Collectors at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, unrecognized today.” Serven followed up by presenting an interesting OTexas. His presentation was titled “Are Antique Guns a Good graph to his audience, listing 16 classifications of antique firearms by Investment?” I discovered his speech among the copious books and value and their ranking, with Colt firearms being the leaders in catalogues I had accumulated in years of collecting. It was not the title appreciation due to their popularity. Colts would continue to hold this that first caught my attention, because I felt that I already knew the exalted position for the next fifty-plus years, with Winchesters eventually answer, but the year it was presented. The 1950s were a decade that I reaching parity. could relate to. This is when my collecting adventures began amid surging While Serven’s investment calculations comparing gun values with interest in antique guns and sage warnings that prices were too high. conventional financial instruments, such as real estate, were of some 1958 was the midpoint to where we are today, and the vantage point merit, his identification of the subtle changes in gun values influenced from where Serven would answer his own question.

  • International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
    INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

  • Bob Was a Shoo-Shoo
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Bob Was a Shoo-Shoo Every boy that grew up in New Orleans (at least in my age group) that managed to get himself into the least bit of mischief knows that the local expression for a firecracker that doesn’t go off is a “shoo-shoo”. It means a dud, something that may have started off hot, but ended in a fizzle. It just didn’t live up to its expectations. It could also be used to describe other things that didn’t deliver the desired wallop, such as an over-promoted “hot date” or even a tropical storm that (fortunately) wasn’t as damaging as its forecast. Back in 1968, I thought for a moment that I was that “dud” date, but was informed by the young lady I was escorting that she had called me something entirely different. “Chou chou” (pronounced exactly like shoo-shoo) was a reduplicative French term of endearment, meaning “my little cabbage”. Being a “petite” healthy leafy vegetable was somehow a lot better than being a non-performing firecracker. At least I wasn’t the only one. In 2009 the Daily Mail reported on a “hugely embarrassing video” in which Carla Bruni called Nicolas Sarkozy my ‘chou chou’ and “caused a sensation across France”. Bruni and Sarkozy: no “shoo-shoo” here The glamourous former model turned pop singer planted a passionate kiss on the French President and then whispered “‘Bon courage, chou chou’, which means ‘Be brave, my little darling’.” The paper explained, “A ‘chou’ is a cabbage in French, though when used twice in a row becomes a term of affection between young lovers meaning ‘little darling’.” I even noticed in the recent French movie “Populaire” that the male lead called his rapid-typing secretary and love interest “chou”, which somehow became “pumpkin” in the subtitles.

  • The Firearms and Gun Safe of Ernest Hemingway
    The Firearms and Gun Safe of Ernest Hemingway championsafe.com /firearms-gun-safe-ernest-hemingway/ While most people know Ernest Hemingway for his landmark works of the 20 th century, such as The Old Man and the Sea and A Farewell to Arms , he had a wide variety of interests that he liked to share with his friends. One of his friends, A.E. Hotchner, described a picture that he and Ernest Hemingway took back when they were children. This picture showed Ernest carrying a rifle at around five or six years of age. In fact, Hemingway’s mother stated that his father taught Ernest how to shoot around age two and could capably handle a pistol at age four. This unique and lesser-known passion has carried over into the industry today. Hemingway’s Firearms Passion Because Hemingway was so passionate about firearms from a young age, this passion spilled over into his writing. During his high school years, he was a member of the firearms club with his classmates. When he turned 18, he joined the military and served his country. While he wasn’t overseas, he hunted a variety of animals such as bears, deer, and elk on the American frontier. He also traveled on a variety of safaris, well-represented in his work. He worked hard to maintain his skills with firearms until the day he died. The Chronicles of War Hemingway served his country during World War I and worked as a reporter during World War II. This, combined with the passions described above, obviously meant that Hemingway led an action-packed life.

    MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS MC NAB © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS McNAB Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 8 The ‘universal’ machine gun USE 27 Flexible firepower IMPACT 62 ‘Hitler’s buzzsaw’ CONCLUSION 74 GLOSSARY 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY & FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION Although in war all enemy weapons are potential sources of fear, some seem to have a deeper grip on the imagination than others. The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

    SEC. II: Firearms Classified As Curios Or Relics Under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 The Bureau has determined that the following firearms are curios or relics as defined in 27 CFR 178.11 because they fall within one of the categories specified in the regulations.
