    Default Incorrect firearm number

    I am one of the negligent gun owners that did not renew my license on time On inspection, I noticed that the serial number on the expired license does not match the serial number of the firearm. It is a 1913 Erfurt Luger in perfect nick with original leather pouch, spare magazine etc. Is there anything I can do to rectify the matter?

    Do you have a "green" license for this firearm, or is this a "white" license only scenario?

    I'm wondering in whose name this firearm (with the correct number) is....was this bought from a dealer or individual?

    It is a white licence in my name. I inherited the firearm more than 30 years ago.

    ...and you never had a green license for this gun?

    Then there may well be some reprieve if you can find it or get a reprint. I recall a thread which set out how to get a re-print....but this may well not be an option with the conversion to white license.

    It is a rather crap situation...sigh

    Just thinking it would be worthwhile checking if this firearm (considering the (hopefully useful?) numerical error) could possibly be "sold" to a dealer, following which you "purchase" it back after applying for and receiving a new license?
