They asked me for all his details on the help desk and then told me the person with the FAC had authortiy to buy the hmr .and to sell . Not happy with this .I called my feo and he told me they have allways been pale blue and I would be commiting an offence if I sold the gun to anyone I was not 100 % sure should have one .

Did his fac have any rfd transactions written on it in ink ?
These may have been faked of course. Just curious to see how far he'd tried to make it look legit, if indeed it was a forgery ?
Fac in west mids are a cream colour but it does seem to differ between forces

Contact Warwickshire police, and send them a copy of the FAC. They should know what they issue

Herts FACs have been printed differently then most other forces I've dealt with.
They've started to issue them the same as other forces now upon renewal but some will still be different for the next couple of years or so until they get through the whole lot of renewals.

in yorkshire the FAC is pale blue and sgc is  sort of a buff yellow both have  water maked papper .I was told by the police  what is printed on the papper  could be copied but the papper it is printed on would be very hard to copy that is where the protection is .
