What does the licence cover?
The Act provides a distinct militaria licence for possession and display of ex-military firearms and ordnance. The type of item and any existing authority matter.
How do you apply?
Before acquiring an item, contact Firearms Services with its details and your intended display. Ask which authority, evidence and conditions apply. This specialist guide directs you to an individual assessment rather than treating an item’s military history as a licence category.
