Shipping original Civil War percussion revolvers to Sweden.

I wonder if not shipping an prescribed antique outside of Canada is an actual Canadapost policy, or perhaps a misinformed opinion of a Canadapost employee.
I could"t find anything on the Canadapost site regarding shipping prescribed antiques.
I did find this interesting item:
U.S. Customs regulations require the IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN) or, if an individual, the Social Security Number (SSN), of the U.S. recipient for certain packages being shipped into the U.S. U.S. Customs regulations apply to import shipments with a declared value for customs of U.S. $2,000* or more, for shipments containing plastics, toys, games, or sporting equipment valued at U.S. $250* or more, and for the following commodities valued at U.S. $5* or more: textile or textile products, clothing, leather or leather products, footwear and headwear, all FDA regulated commodities, or other goods that are restricted or controlled requiring a formal entry by the U.S. Customs service. Shipments which are so restricted or controlled or contain commodities that require a B13A Declaration may NOT be shipped by PriorityTM Worldwide service.
All packages scheduled for delivery which do not have the EIN number will be detained until that information can be obtained.
*This limit is subject to change.
Here is where they state the will not ship firearms, and it looks like knives as well, outside Canada:
The following items are not acceptable for carriage to any international destinations unless otherwise indicated by us (Additional restrictions may apply depending on destination. Various regulatory clearances in addition to customs clearance may be required for certain commodities and may extend the transit time):
• Foodstuffs and beverages (perishable or non-perishable).
• Live insects, animals, birds, reptiles and plants, including cut flowers.
• Dead animals or animals that have been mounted.
• Live fish/seafood.

Non-prescription drugs, vitamins, dietary supplements and herbal remedies are unacceptable for shipment to many countries. Because laws and regulations regarding admissibility and clearance procedures vary by destination country, we will assume no responsibility for delivery delays. In the event the shipment does not clear proper regulatory agencies, it will be deemed undeliverable (See “Undeliverable Packages”). If there is any question regarding the admissibility of non-prescription drug shipments, vitamins, dietary supplements and herbal remedies, we suggest that the sender contact the recipient to determine entry requirements. Consult the International Destination Listing available at canadapost.ca/internationallistings for further information.
Shipments with a declared value for customs in excess of that permitted for a specific destination are not acceptable for carriage. The declared value for carriage cannot exceed the declared value for customs as indicated on the PriorityTM Worldwide Air Waybill.

There is mention in the storage,display, and transport regs under Shipping by Post that mentions shipping of a non-restricted firearm, restricted firearm or prohibited handgun within Canada only. Antique Firearms are mentioned in the regs, but are not mentioned in the Shipping by Post section of the regs.
