Odd that you happened to pick the one year they considered a firearm to be antique. However, the following statute language is probably what you're looking for.

790.001Definitions.

�As used in this chapter, except where the context otherwise requires:

(1)�Antique firearm� means any firearm manufactured in or before 1918 (including any matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar early type of ignition system) or replica thereof, whether actually manufactured before or after the year 1918, and also any firearm using fixed ammunition manufactured in or before 1918, for which ammunition is no longer manufactured in the United States and is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.
