Iam a reenactor and shooter , and Iam looking for a Blank firing webley starting Revolver , I know they exist, but have not found one yet , also Iam looking for a Mauser smooth bore conversion or Long Lee, that can be held on a shotgun certificate, thanks BEAN CAN sorry I have posted this reply twice

The Webley .38 blank firing revolvers are Section 5(1)(aba) prohibited weapons and are only authorised for AAA starting guns. You will not get one on ticket for re-enacting.

They are out there 'off ticket' but if you get caught with one it is a 5 year mandatory prison sentence

[ [/QUOTE, Iam very acutely aware of the legal situation, we have to be whiter than white , but we also have a good excuse for wanting Blank firers , if these webleys are classed as Blank firer's we have a good if not better reason than the AAA, for using them in controlled situation's , we also are loaned live section 1 weapons from film armourer's at events. many of us are ex Army and ex and serving Policeman thanks for the reply BEAN CAN

You will not get a Section 5 authorisation as an individual for re-enactment purposes. Section 1 or 2 : yes, possibly. Prohibited Section 5 weapons including handguns and machine guns : no, never.

The AAA use of handguns as race starting equipment is specifically covered in the Firearms Act. Re-enacting is not.
