Question UK Law regarding relic weapons

Hello All

My first post so please excuse any mistakes. I was wondering if any of you had any experience/knowledge of the situation regarding relic weapons and deactivation in the UK ? I understand you can only own deactivated firearms with certificates unless you are a FAC holder, fair enough, but does this also apply to obvious relics such as the dug up rifle remnants and pieces of weapons that you sometimes see for sale ? If for example I bought a relic rifle in France does it need a UK deactivation cert ( I haven`t yet but I may do in future )
Thanks for your time guys....
PS - Love to see some relic weapon pics if you guys have any...

Old bomb

Saw this old bomb today in front of a Historic House in Albemarle, NC.. The medal tag just states (Dropped 1927)... I think it is a WW1 German Bomb that was given to the town of Albemarle as a souviner.. Anyone else have an ID on this odd bomb...BILL
