It is the longest unguarded border in the world, just saying.

Last i checked a Luger is perfectly legal to own, unless you live in a commie state. A person doesnt have to claim or prove anything. |

I always wanted a Luger. My dad had a friend who had been collecting them since the early 60s.

It's a 70 year pistol, likely a war bring back. You could say whatever you want. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Not sure it's worth the risk coming across the border, even with my nexus card. If the actual ATF transfer isn't too much of a pain (or basically impossible), I think I would rather just do it on the up and up. |

You don't want to deal with that hassle the gun isn't worth it. But you do want to go visit your girlfriend.

It appears there were several variations in that time period and some are considerably rare, while others are not. I'm not sure what info the Canadian side will require. If the guy just dropped the gun off with no documentation to the girl and her family, I hope that won't become an issue. If there is anyone on here who deals with these things and would handle/broker this for me at a reasonable price, I would definitely consider doing that so I don't have to stress over the paperwork and details. |

Contact Simpsons LTD, they are importers who work with people importing single collectible pieces. |

ETA - Whoa, ~$550+ in fees/processing/brokerage/shipping and then laser importation marks with Simpson's info on the frame. The alternate option is looking more enticing. |

Bad part of importing is the gun will have to be marked with import marks which really hurts value if that is a concern.

Apropos of nothing else, there are several Canadian checkpoints that you just use a phone to call the nearest border station to declare your entry.

Simpson LTD seems to specialize in importing Lugers, probably worth a phone call...
Edit: quote from their site: Please note: Once we have an approved import permit, Simpson Ltd or our bonded Customs Broker must be present at the Customs port to clear the shipment, with the original permit. The owner or shipper can not clear or hand carry the items through U.S. Customs. This is a Federal liability for us, and we will be forced to report infractions. |

Great time of year to visit Canada. Last time I checked, dogs can't smell German guns... unless it's a German Shepherd of course...

Any FFL can file the Form 6 for you, doesn't have to be licensed as an Importer. I helped a green card holder import his 1911 from Germany a few years ago, and I'm just a 01FFL. He did all the legwork with the exporter in Germany and the Import house here in the states, I just had to file the Form 6. If I recall, it took about a year though to get it all done. No importation marks were necessary, but that may have changed in the recent years.
FFL may make an occasional importation with restrictions |

I think the OP got his question answered. Perhaps deleting some of the comments here would be a good idea.
