Deactivation or not?

ChannelIsles · 08-20-2006, 01:31 PM

Hi - I looking to acquire my first pistol and look to choose between a deactivated model or a working firearm with the appropriate licence.

I have a small collection of WW2 era items & my motivation is more collector, although if I go the licenced route i'd likley look to join a suitable pistol club here in Jersey.

To assist me in this decision, what motivates a deactivation -
-Is it the pistol is no longer considered a reliable firearm & deactivation for safety reasons?
-How does this effect the value over a working model?
-Any other reasons?

Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks,
Brendan - Jersey, Channel Islands.
