This is a facet of that government mindset that anything having to do with any weapon is simply not for public consumption. This is obviously more prevalent in Europe, but is catching on here. Why don't you just put a new barrel on it and repair/replace as needed in the safety area to make the gun functional? Maybe your students would then like to learn how to 'rust-blue' and 'straw' the pistol and fit new grips. I think most of us here on the Forum could do this job ourselves, much less a gunsmithing school.
