Are there peculiar regulations in France concerning antique firearms?

I am really in the hands of the antique dealer. He says he can't ship the item because it is on the prohibited item list. I have also contacted carrriers and they say the same thing.
I might have to incorporate a holiday in Nice to buy the musket, remove the lock and post the stock and barrel myself. I can then pack the lock in my suitcase.
Two photos of the troublesome musket.
