If your 20 predates the ATF and GCA '68, the importers mark was done by choice. It was not required before that point.
Individual FFL's can do an occasional import. I have done exactly one. One was enough. I did the one to learn the process and to see if it was a direction I would want to pursue. Nope.
Right. I realize no importers mark was required before 1968. My point was that the gun in question, while pre-68, was likely imported post-68 given the presence of the concealed mark.
I used the services of a dealer who was not an importer to import one gun. Went smoothly in our case, but that was also some time ago and I don't know that I'd recommend anyone else--dealer without an import license or buyer using the services of a dealer who's not an importer--go that route either.
