Help Please With Info on This Luger

[Peter Anhalt]

That de-ac description is bang on the money.

On this side of the blue we have stringent laws that mean for a firearm to be classified as deactivated it must be rendered beyond possible re-conversion, i.e. it must be in a state that it cannot possibly be re-worked to bring it back into a condition where it could possibly fire a live round.

That normally means a gunsmith boring out a barrel or cylinder chambers. Then submitting the firearm to one of two proof houses in the UK for certification that the firearm is deactivated.

I've attached a pic of a deactivated Colt Police Positive below. On this model the cylinder chambers have been bored out and the barrel blocked.

I know it might look like sacrilege but the laws in this country are pretty prohibitive.
