My cousin in Alaska wants to give me a S&W 38 Special. The problem is I live in CA and my local gun shop said I can't receive it here unless it is an "antique/curio" which means it must be 50+ years old (1964 or older). The first one he wanted to give me had the serial number D-425567 and I learned that it was from 1972, so I can't import that into CA. He has another S&W 38 Special, that he said is even nicer that he will give me and its serial number is D-180526. Can someone tell me shipping date on that one? Based on its lower serial number, perhaps it is older and may therefore comply with CA laws? Thank you in advance.
