It is definitely a curio & relic classified gun because it is over 50 years old. As Gary notes, it is not considered an antique because it was made after 1898. Advantages of a C&R gun are that they can be shipped aross state lines directly to the C&R holder (03 FFL) without going through an 01 FFL on each end or on the receiving end if you are lucky enough to find an FFL that will accept a gun shipped by a non-FFL. Also, C&R licensees can cross state lines and purchase C&R handguns in another state without violating federal law.
