You need to clarify your question.
1) A Curio and Relic (Type 03) FFL is not a "dealer" in firearms. The license is intended for persons who collect bona fide C&R firearms, and in general, trade with other C&R collectors. Under certain conditions, C&R licensees may transfer C&R firearms to non-licensees as well.
2) Depending on who the handgun is to be mailed to and whether or not the handgun qualifies as a C&R piece are relevant issues.
There are a number of variables that you should be aware of when it comes to mailing handguns period. The best way to avoid any possible issues is to send the firearm to the proper FFL and have the ultimate recipient receive the firearm from the FFL in accordance with federal, state and local law.
The reason for this precaution, is that currently state and municipal law is evolving rapidly, and although it may be perfectly legal under the federal law to mail or otherwise transfer a firearm, C&R or not, state and local laws may put the recipient of that firearm in a precarious situation.
Always err on the side of caution in these matters. The trouble and small expense to conduct the transaction in the way I've outlined it here is nothing when compared to the expense and trouble of hiring an attorney.

Are Curio and relic pistols exempt from registration?
The firearm designated as a curio and relic by the BATF may be sent across state lines to and from individuals who hold a collectors license. If your state requires registration of handguns, they would not be exempt unless there is a specific reference to this in the state licensing legislation. Some may even require registration of antique firearms that are exempt from all federal regulation.
C r gun licience?
A Curio and Relic license (C&R) is a license that allows collectors to purchase certain guns directly, without going through a dealer in their home state. It is not a license to engage in the business of buying and selling guns, but requires the collector to go through the same background check that a dealer goes through. The license is $30 for 3 years.
How old does a 12 gauge Remington 870 pump have to be to make it an antique?
Older then when they started making them, for a firearm to be antique it has to be pre-1899. There's also a curio and relic classification but a 870 will not make it into that list.

By the BATFE definition, only a rifle manufactured before 1899 is classed as an antique firearm, although rifles manufactured afterwards can still be classed as Curio & Relic firearms.

How do you transfer gun ownership in ca?
The California DOJ website http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs.php#top has a list of frequently asked questions on gun ownership and transfer in California. It has the answer to this question (which I have posted below). Keep in mind that the process is different if you are transfering ownership to a spouse or child. Those requirements are listed on that page as well. Hope that helps! I want to sell a gun to another person, i.e., a private party transfer. Am I required to conduct the transaction through a licensed California firearms dealer? Yes. Firearm sales must be conducted through a fully licensed California firearms dealer. Failure to do so is a violation of California law. The buyer (and seller, in the event that the; buyer is denied), must meet the normal firearm purchase and delivery requirements. "Antique firearms," as defined in Section 921(a)(16) of Title 18 of the United States Code, and curio or relic rifles/shotguns, defined in Section 178.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations that are over 50 years old, are exempt from this requirement. Firearms dealers are required to process private party transfers upon request. Firearms dealers may charge a fee not to exceed $10 per firearm for conducting a private party transfer. Example: # For a private party transfer involving one or more handguns, the total allowable fees, including the DROS, safety, and dealer transfer fees, are not to exceed $35.00 for the first handgun and $31.00 for each additional handgun involved in the same transaction. # For private party transfers involving one or more long guns, or a private party transfer involving one handgun, the total allowable fees, including the DROS, safety, and dealer transfer fees, are not to exceed $35.00. The dealer may charge an additional dealer-service fee of$10.00 per each additional firearm transferred. (PC section 12072(d))
