Importing a miniature replica pistol

[The Airsoft Lad]

seemed like this fitted the 'Advice' section.

I'm trying to work out whether importing a metal miniature replica of a 1911 is the same as importing a RIF whereby i'll need a valid defence

Thing that's got me questioning it is that it's 1:6 scale, therefore no-where near the size of a real weapon.

Here's a picture of it in someone's hand so the size can be judged:

It's not an airsoft gun (just incase anyone's wondering)

forgot about the UKARA FAQ thread!

"if it is less than the size of the original gun, it may not count as a RIF depending on whether or not the Home Secretary has added a specific replica to the list of realistic guns. If it is shorter than 70mm and no higher than 38mm it cannot be classed as a RIF."
