Thanks Brian and Brian for the info. I didn’t know UPS asks about contents when you do the shipping request and label using an on-line account. FedEx does not, at least it doesn’t ask me and there is no place on the Fedex on-line shipping template to do that. And while I am a 03 FFL, FedEx doesn’t know that. I once tried to execute a "Compliance Agreement" with FedEx and made several calls to locate my account executive but no one there knew anything about that position and who it might be. All this shows how confusing things are.
Well anyway, nowadays I will very rarely ship guns that are worth any more than a nominal amount. Better to show and legally sell in person, or consign to a reputable on-line auction service. Just too much of a hassle to ship, the seller takes all the risk, and often you have to deal with individuals who want to return the gun for casual reasons and that puts a stigma on it when you readvertise to the limited audience interested in vintage double-guns. All this is my experience and opinion of course.
