Common questions

Is the Dreyse & Collenbusch Needle-Fire Pistol restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Dreyse & Collenbusch Needle-Fire Pistol (single-shot, chambered in .58 Prussian Needle-Fire, made in Germany) as Antique in Canada, under FRN 18540. Classification attaches to the specific firearm rather than the model name, so variants with a different barrel length, overall length or action can carry a different class. Confirm the record matches the firearm in front of you, and verify with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before any transfer.

What licence do I need to buy a Dreyse & Collenbusch Needle-Fire Pistol?

Prohibited firearms cannot be acquired by ordinary licence holders. Transfers are limited to holders of the matching grandfathering, and the newer prohibition orders came with a buyback rather than a transfer path. Confirm the position with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before going any further.

What is FRN 18540?

FRN 18540 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Dreyse & Collenbusch Needle-Fire Pistol record in the Firearms Reference Table. Quoting the FRN is the unambiguous way to identify a firearm in a transfer, a registration or an import, because model names are reused across variants that are not classified alike.
