Shipping blackpowder pistol from Europe to America
Right now, I'm in Europe. I received a blackpowder pistol from a relative as a Christmas gift. I need to know if I can legally take the black powder pistol back with me to Pennsylvania. Is there any way that I can have it shipped in my luggage? Thanks in advance.

I'm certain it would have to be declared. Not just for boarding, but also for customs(tariffs/duties).
I think its still considered a "non-firearm" for importation, but for airlines and travel its still a firearm. And you'll most likely have to pay duties on it.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

It might be less of a problem to ship it home DHL or FedEx with the requisite customs declaration; depending on the value a gift (Cadeau) might not have any duty attached to it, and you'll only have to deal with customs once, not at both ends of both airports.
In theory, it isn't a firearm, so you shouldn't need an FFL."...a REPUBLIC, if you can keep it."

If you fly into an NYC airport you are likely to get arrested.

If you ship the black powder gun to New Jersey, a couple of fatso Christie type goons will come over the PA state line and impose some sort of unenforceable fine.
