I have no idea how historic handguns fit into the travel requirement or where they can be used .

Handguns manufactured prior to 1898 require no license to own/use. They are prescribed antiques and are exempt.
Technically you could shoot them in your back yard.
A modern reproduction is however NOT a prescribed antique and all laws/regulations pertaining to modern handguns must be followed.

Unless it was manufactured prior to 1898 you're out of luck.
You can't legally buy, sell or trade any handgun in Canada.
Its how the Liberal government eliminated all gun crime in the country.

Coincidentally, 1898 may have been the last time a black powder pistol was used for crime.

True. I had to go through the normal process of vetting for my restricted license, in order to purchase a pistol that takes 10 minutes to load. Back when I bought it you could buy exactly the same pistol, in New York State, with just your driver's license.

EDIT - I know a place that's currently selling a Colt 1851 Navy that was manufactured in 1853, with custom silver plated body and grip, that can be had for the low, low price of $42,500.00.
 
I follow the US auctions with a curious fascination. Morphys and Rock Island are the big sites , special engraved colt and Winchesters go for many tens of thousands . Add things like formerly owned by an American president and your into hundreds of thousands. The collector market is certainly interesting to watch ( for me ) .
