arcot1751 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 If it is a genuine replica NOT a deactivated weapon, I wouldn't think paperwork is needed, replica firearms sold today do not come with certificates, at least the ones I have bought new didn't anyway. A deactivated weapon should have the relevant certificates which you should carry with you if attending shows with the weapon on display. I have several replica weapons on my Jeep NONE have certificates, I bought them new and they never had any when purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Short answer is No. ONLY when you come to sell it. The current Law demands that the purchaser must have a 'Defence in Law' to buy it. IE: Be a member of a Re-Enactment group, A Member of HM.Armed Forces, Or a representative of a Theatrical Agency for stage/ film work. There is a little more to it, but that is the salient points you need to be aware of. You require NO paperwork to hold this replica as your own property.

Tony B Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Would be wise when its on the vehicle to fix it in place. I use a bike cable lock, not required legally but makes you look a responsible person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
