U.S. Code: Title 18, 921:
The term "antique firearm" means any firearm manufactured in or before 1898Here no FFL required. The reason for the law is, that arms
made before 1899 are for black powder.
Antiques are not suited for shooting modern ammunition.

Firearm Condition Standards
The following standards were set forth by the NRA for describing the condition of a firearm.
Factory New = all original parts; 100% original finish; in perfect condition in every respect, inside and out.
Excellent = all original parts; over 80% original finish; sharp lettering, numerals and design on metal and wood; unmarred wood; fine bore.
Fine = all original parts; 30% to 80% original finish; sharp lettering, numerals and design on metal and wood; minor marks in wood, good bore.
Very Good = all original parts; none to 30% original finish; original metal surfaces smooth with all edges sharp; clear lettering, numerals and design on metal; wood slightly scratched or bruised; bore disregarded for collectors firearms.
Good = some minor replacement parts; metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned or reblued; principal lettering, numerals and design on metal legible; wood refinished, scratched, bruised or minor cracks repaired; in good working order.
Fair = some major parts replaced; minor replacement parts may be
required; metal rusted, may be lightly pitted all over, vigorously cleaned or reblued;
rounded edges of metal and wood; principal lettering, numerals and design on metal partly
obliterated; wood scratched, bruised, cracked or repaired where broken; in fair working

***
Common sense: mint and unfired weapons will not leave the factory = incorrect description of no value, and I will not use.
