The only M49-class revolver currently on California's Certified for Sale Roster is the 649-5, SKU 163210. Your M49 is not on the Roster and cannot be legally brought into California at this time unless the purchaser is a law enforcement officer in this state. It would be up to him to establish his right to import that gun with his receiving FFL before you could ship it (or have your FFL ship it).

When the gun reaches the age of 50 -- Jan 2033 -- it will become a curio or relic. At that time (barring revised import prohibitions by the California Legislature in coming years) it will be legal to import into California by anyone who qualifies as a legal gun owner or buyer in this state.

I am afraid your proposed sale into California is not possible at this time unless the proposed buyer is employed in law enforcement. If there are other special circumstances that would allow its import, I am not familiar with them.
