Husqvarna 1887 Revolver - Is this one an antique in Canada?

[mearkat32]

I saw this on a US Dealer's website.

The serial number is 236. Does this count as an antique?

They said it's made in 1897, which meets the cutoff in Canada

Technically yes, although I’m no expert in the specific gun. If your research backs the information listed on the auction page, yes I don’t see why not.

You are good to go with this one - the cutoff is at 350.

See the discussion here https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/for...wedish-Nagant-antique-serial-range?p=18573152

Did you get to grab it or did someone more savvy after seeing your post?

What would be a price that one of the 350 antique-legal Husqvarna nagants fetch in Canada?

One recently sold quite quickly on #######. Ad was up for less than a day. I think he was asking 4000.

by virtue of being made before 1898 and therefore antique, post the first 350, also made by Husqvarna are restricted and much cheaper. I have a picture in the linked thread - two very much alike revolvers but one is way more expensive (and sellable with the freeze in effect) than the other

Two digit serial top - antique

Three digit serial bottom - restricted
