Hi Dju
From what I know when a weapon is deactivated in uk it only has the one stamp of the proof house that actually did the job. If a gun is proofed in the uk there are a lot more marks.
On 8th. April this year, new deactivation rules come into force for every EU country. For pistols for example, it involves permanently fixing magazines in place and deactivating them. The new rules will be applied retrospectively, so any gun deactivated before 8th April but bought after that date will have to re-deactivated to comply with the new rules.
