Recently I bought an antique revolver on a driving vacation in the U.S. I knew this was an antique but thought I should consult with CFC before trying to drive through customs with it.
I called CFC from a motel in the middle of Nebraska and was told that I should have called before I bought the gun to get it verified, I explained that it was a spur of the moment thing and they forewarded me to the techs in Ottawa. The gal I spoke to was great, she was shouting my numbers and description to her tech somewhere in the room , he was shouting back questions and looking up the model etc.
They verified it as an antique and asked how I'd like to recieve the verification letter. I explained that I was on the road and calling from a motel and could they fax it to me? The reply was sure , how long will you be there. I said " about an hour" . After the laughter stopped she said ok I'll put a rush on it. I had my letter in 40 minutes.
All in all I was on the phone for about ten minutes.
