You both may have to notify the Home Office about the transfer so its not like you can plead ignorance as you may well be highlighting a potentially illegal transaction in order to comply with the notification laws now in place.
The new deactivated guns law which came into force on 12 December 2019 requires you to notify all transfers of deactivated weapons.

• The new rules do not apply to weapons deactivated before 8 April 2016. However, existing legislation means that in order to transfer a deactivated weapon within the UK or EU it must be deactivated to the latest standard, even if you don’t have to notify the transfer

Notification of transfer or possession of deactivated firearms
14. The Firearms Regulations 2019 introduce new requirements regarding the possession and transfer of permanently deactivated firearms in accordance with the requirements of Directive (EU) 2017/853.
15. “Deactivated firearm” means a firearm that has been deactivated in accordance with the technical specifications set out in the document published by the Secretary of State under
section 8A(5) of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 (controls on defectively deactivated weapons) which apply to that firearm. Firearms which were deactivated prior to 8 April 2016 are not covered by these provisions until such time as they are transferred.
16. For the purposes of regulations 1 to 4 of the Firearms Regulations 2019, “firearm” has the meaning given in relation to England and Wales and Scotland, by section 57(1) of the Firearms Act 1968 (interpretation) and, in relation to Northern Ireland, by Article 2(2) of the Firearms (Northern Ireland) Order 2004 (interpretation).
17. “Transfer” includes sell, give, let on hire for a period of more than 14 days or lend for a period of more than 14 days.
18. To meet the declaration requirements required by the Directive, deactivated firearms have to be notified to the “appropriate national authority” who, in relation to England and Wales and Scotland, is the Secretary of State for the Home Department.
