That's disconcerting. If even a company dedicated to shipping can't or won't come up with a reliable carrier, are we in Europe now confined to collecting only lots that we can pick up ourselves? Or are there still reliable companies that will pick up, pack and ship antique arms?

Hallo,
Here in Germany there are several companies specialized on im-and export of hunting weapons and i think ,they also do this job with antiques. For example Waffen Bock,Krico GmbH, Waffen Taxi and others.Certainly you can find similar companies in France and other countries.But unfortunately this is not cheap.....
