So the roster compliance issue is only for store sales. If its a Private Party sale that is owned in CA, then you can buy almost any gun roster or not.
Also, PP sales are also not bound by the 1 in 30 scheme (although that is now moot with the latest 9th circuit ruling). Last year I got 3 pistols in one transfer...WOOHOO!

That exactly what I didn't know so that the rule thanks so much for clarifying this to me makes sense now I understand. The one in the store I seen was really an old one maybe that's considered an antique . But thanks again for clearing this up for me have a great day
A little story about my Walther PPKS. I purchased it new, early in my law enforcement career. After retirement, I went through an ugly divorce, and my ex wanted my entire gun collection, as a way to hurt me. She really wanted the Colt Python, but I had a sales receipt showing I purchased it a week before my marriage, so she could not touch it.
My Walther was the only gun she could demand, but it had lots of sentimental value since I wore it in an ankle holster for 20 years. Well, yup, she got it, but I never released the magazines, so it was unshootable for her, since extra mags were hard to find. A year later, she was hurting for money, so I offered her $1000 for my gun back, but she sold it to some gangster in Texas for $100. This ripped me to the core. I wanted to buy a replacement, but being retired, I am no longer able to purchase a new one.

The most sought after, desirable, valuable, and collectable ones, if they are in good original condition, are the original German ones made during the WW2 or earlier period. I'd really love to have one of the ones with the Nazi eagle emblem in the grips.....saw one in a gun shop years ago that was very reasonably priced, but the gun was in poor external condition with lots of external pitting
After that would be the post-war pre-68 Gun Control Act ones made in France and Germany.
Here are some I've seen on some of the sites I am a member of:
This is the one I really would like to have:
