I really would like to get some one local to possible buy them , but I obviously cannot advertise on craigs list , Gun Broker asks to put a price I SOLD

Hi
 

Hi David, your biggest problem is going to getting these shipped.

https://support.shippingeasy.com/hc/...-UPS-and-FedEx

UPS and Fed Ex will only ship firearms from one licensed dealer to another licensed dealer.

You can ship them through the Postal Service, but there are a lot of rules if you are not a licensed dealer. You will have to ship them by Express Mail or by Registered Mail. I would guess you would be looking at $400 or more to get these shipped.

I wish I lived closer to Florida (I am in Wisconsin). I would meet you somewhere.

Good luck! Rick

these are antique considered pre 1899
 

Rick according to this web page
and if i use the same criteria as this company I can ship these
and a few years ago I had two old muskets that I sold to some one in New York , shipped them fedx Ground , no indication of contents , they arrived safe and sound ,

here is the verbiage from this company
considers all of our antique guns as non-firing, inoperable and/or inert. Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 921(a)(16) defines antique firearms as all guns made prior to 1899. This law exempts antique firearms from any form of gun control or special engineering because they are not legally considered firearms. No FFL, C&R or any license is required to posses, transport, sell or trade Antique guns. All rifles and muskets sold by IMA that were manufactured prior to 1898 are considered Antiques by the US BATF (United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms). Therefore, all of IMA's Antique guns may be shipped to all US States and most nations around the world.

These antique guns are not sold in “live” condition. They are sold as collector’s items or as “wall hangers”. Any attempt at restoring an antique gun to be operational is strongly discouraged and is done so at the risk of the customer. By purchasing an antique gun from IMA you thereby release IMA, its employees and corporate officers from any and all liability associated with use of our Antique guns..

Hi David,

The 5 antique handguns arrived safe and sound. Excellent job with the packing. They look better in person and your description was accurate.
