Just got this message from a mate. 

"Hi Gordon. How old do you think the stock and trigger mechanism are and if you used it as a wall hanger, would it be legal?"

I have messaged him to see if there are any names / marks on the action?

As a pinfire would it not be classed as antique, obsolete calibre? 
If so, the locks themselves aren’t illegal to own…..unless legislation has changed in the intervening years since I was a collector. 

I don’t think the action in the picture is a pin fire.

Westley - made me laugh. I wasn't sure whether the twisted tubes were once barrels which had been rendered useless. Chris's brother acquired the tray full as a job lot with some other bits. Still awaiting details and photos.

Off the top of my head - doesn't the law in relation to firearms center around pressure bearing parts and availability of ammunition?

What I'm presuming you have there is a pressure bearing part of a 12 bore - so regardless of its age it would still require a licence to possess - even minus the barrells.
