Award-winning Airgun Anorak
If it was ever designed to fire powder cartridges, it would have a removeable grommet or similar to allow the air to escape in front of the piston when fired in 'firearm' mode - looking at the pics there seems to be a hole at the top of the cylinder, covered by the T-bar. Could this be it? There also seems to be an indent next to the breech seal, which I'm guessing might have been to help with removal of the firing pin attachment?
In any case, in the absence of a firing pin and barrel liner, it is surely an airgun and not a firearm that would need to be on an FAC, especially if it was sold as such. That's what I would argue in court, anyway.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

The barrel is not chambered for anything, just a straight smoothbore tube - the liner is not chambered for anything, it is rifled right up to the breech face like a nomal airgun barrel ( but it is also likely not to be original as it should be .177 if this a No.4, according to the catalogues)

The chap in Sportarm has given it the all clear, it is just an airgun...yippee!. A 9mm dart firing Gem has got to be a lot rarer than a 9mm Flobert combination version to boot.A happy ending

Result Dave - that Gem is definately a 'Keeper' mate!
