ATF normally adds specific items to the C&R list because of a collector request. Apparently they did so with the French 75, then realized that guns made before 1899 were antiques, and removed them from the C&R list as antiques. That entry is just a paperwork correction, of interest only to someone wanting to buy a "75" made in 1897 or 1898. Not me; no money, no place to keep it, no place to shoot it. Darn.
