Thanks in advance.

A handgun manufactured before 1899 is exempt from California's dealer transfer requirement. You just have to make sure the buyer is at least 18 years old. The actual handgun you are selling has to have been manufactured before 1899, not just that model of handgun. So a Model 1895 Nagant revolver made in 1898 can be transfered in California without going through a dealer, but one made in 1899 has to go through a dealer.
