P64,Pistol is not 50 years old, but got them.
I thought the firearm has to be 50 years old in order to qualify for C&R? I have a C&R license and ordered 2 P64, got them, but on the pistols it says 1974?

Doesn't have to be 50 years old.Unusual,seldom seen,unique,or anything classified by the A.T.F. as a curio or relic.That's why P1 Walther's are allowable on a C.R.

Relic = >50 years old
Curio = Whatever ATF agrees to list because it's weird, uses weird ammo, or has some other feature making it collectable as a curio. Tends to be military handguns and rifles mostly.

If I was a betting man, I would say the credit probably belongs to a Mr Les Jensen, the curator of the West Point Museum, and this:

Surprisiingly, the CZ75 never made it to the C&R list. At one time, that was a VERY rare bird.
