Can anyone verify the legality of shipping an 1860 E Whitney BP revolver to Sweden?

I have one on an auction site and was asked if I will ship to Sweden.  I have been told ( by the buyer) that since it was made prior to 1890 it is legal there without the normal license.

Nevermind,  I found my answer using google translate within the Weapons act 1996:67

§ What is said about firearms does not apply
a) salute guns that can not be charged with gas tight unit assemblies,
b ) firearm that was manufactured prior to 1890 and not intended for gas-tight unit cartridges,
c ) bolt pistols for construction work;
d ) other working tools for slaughter or for industrial or similar use, and
e ) delay devices intended for life-saving or similar purposes. Act ( 2006:386 ) .

It's perfectly fine to ship it to Sweden.

A lot of people collect antique cap-n-ball firearms since they're not regulated here.
