Jack Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I maybe stupid, but...... Can you get replacement deacts certs..if you happen to lose yours - I mean if my mate down the pub lost his :whistle: If so has anyone had a replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Marmite!! Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Jack, there's been quite a bit of discussion about this on the WW2 Forum & the answer is NO.. you must re-submit the weapon for inspection, if it's an old spec gun it will have to have further deactivation work done to it to bring it up to current standards before they will issue a new cert.. But.. a deac cert is not a legal requirement... just make sure all the deac proof marks are legible.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sas pinkie Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Nor can my mate :whistle:, so where should I tell him to be looking for the deact stamps on the weapon, any chance of a photo, so I can I know what I, I mean he knows what he is looking for!!!! :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LeeEnfield Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 what kind of guns are we talking about,..........or rather, whats your mate :whistle: got. Poss differing locations in respect of different weapon. On a LeeEnfield No4 rifle, for example, numbers are stamped on metalwork of breech. I'll let you know where they are stamped on Bren, when it arrives, monday. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FV601 (R.I.P.) Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Karl and Jack You can let your mate's know that there should be markings on the breech/main body of the gun and also on the bolt. There are possibly several marks on the main body as some proof houses mark where every bit of deactivation work has been carried out, so all in all there is no hard and fast rule as to position. The example pictures are from my old spec M1 Carbine and show the mark on the bolt and on the body near the rear sight. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e211/Daemon1/MVC-415S.jpg[/img] http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e211/Daemon1/MVC-416S.jpg[/img] Hope this helps your mate's out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 berni Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 now then chaps, if your mates :whistle: had the foresight of a female they would have photocopied the certs a couple of times, laminated 1 copy, put 1 copy in the truck and the original in the household filing system ( with birth certs passports etc)) this may be an idea for any other certs before your mates :whistle: lose any more :angel: berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ghasp! Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I belive you can get a proof house to re-certify them for a small price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Marmite!! Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I belive you can get a proof house to re-certify them for a small price too. Yes but if you take an old spec gun in to be re-proofed it will not pass, all weapons submitted must be to current specs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Snapper Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Berni must be a librarian at heart. You don't need a female to run a filing system. You sometimes need one to make a dogs breakfast of the one you have organised. My female hates guns, so this whole issue is totally academic.

0 LeeEnfield Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I thought as much :roll: <REMOVED> Aye,............ :roll: Hopfully not !! Apart from committing a crime, "forging a de-activation certificate could constitute an offence under the forgery and counterfeiting act 1981", copied from my de-ac cert for Lee Enfield, and Bren,................, if the person, so doing this was caught,and found out, could well re ignite the smouldering ashes of the VCR bill. :shake: NOT something, I'd have thought, ANY of us would want to see........... :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ackack Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 You used to be able to get a duplicate certificate for £25 as long as you knew the certificate number. I know because I lost for a while the certificates for my quad Polsten, which would have been expensive! The best thing would be to telephone Birmingham Proof House.

0 Topdog Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I took the advice from an 'old soldier' on here and did a colour photocopy and laminated it. 11 out of 10 police officers would never know the difference :police: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
