Any class 3 curio/relic collector can be sent the firearm, they will need to provide a valid copy of their license to the shipper
For their files and upon receipt the receiver must enter into their bound book for the ATF. This can ship with UPS or Federal express
I do conservation work on metals, from salt(trained in Florida Gold Coast) and fresh water environments as well as land recovery and have the proper ATF license but I am in Michigan
You can also ship from Full Licensed dealer to Full Licensed dealer and have the conservator pick up the firearm. Typical cost is 25 -30 dollars at each end for the transfer fee
Plus the shipping cost to the receiving dealer location
You may want to look for someone in the Civil War belt that does conservation work on Civil War Relics as a source..not the Clean and Coated method technician
What are your expectations on the outcome and level of conservation due to the heavy corrosion?
If you can send photos of the artifact? Be interesting to view

Subject: Shipping/transport of firearm artifact
Good afternoon, Histarchers,
I am looking to communicate with anyone who has actual experience shipping or transporting across state lines artifacts that are considered to be firearms, handguns in particular. I am working with another group to have a heavily corroded firearm – a Model 1911 WWI pistol – conserved. Although the firearm certainly appears to qualify as a curio or relic (per 27 CFR §478.11, https://www.atf.gov/firearms/curios-relics), this status does not appear to change any legal requirements regarding shipping or transport of a firearm (at least for this pistol). We need to know how to legally get the artifact from its current location (Tennessee) to a conservator, probably in another state. Based on our understanding, federal law indicates that firearms can only be shipped interstate to a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer, or collector. Does anyone out there have experience with shipping or transporting artifacts or museum objects that are firearms? Do you know a qualified archaeological metals conservator who is also a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer, or collector? Alternatively, can you recommend a qualified conservator or conservation lab within the state of Tennessee? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or assistance.
If you do not have actual experience with this process or know someone who has such experience, please do not send links to relevant websites or laws/code. We have read those websites and the laws/code. We would like to discuss the process with someone who actually has experience with it. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
~Kendra
