How do you transport a firearm internationally?
I have a very old (about 120 year old) hand gun that was my great grandfather's in Argentina. It was passed down from my Great Grandfather to my Grandfather then to my Father....
My father will like to pass it on to me, problem is I live in Florida and the handgun is in Argentina. Is there anyway I can transport this gun to Florida?
I will be in Argentina next month, but i doubt i can bring it back in cargo.
Additonal Details that may be important: The Gun has serial numbers but the registration has been lost for years. The gun does not function.

Guns can be transported, but every country and every state has different regulations. You will have to inquire. Common regulations: Gun unloaded, in a box or case, disassembled if at all possible. Your baggage may have to be labeled "Firearm enclosed" , which is a lot like "steal me". For heaven's sake, don't pack any ammunition, they will be sure you are a terrorist.

The link below will help you. It is easier to let a gun importer do the paper work for you. (personal experience) They will for a small fee.
Cheers
