If it is "of its time" as in bloomin' old you'll be OK. It is AFAIK only modern made ones post-2000 and something or other year that need to be orange or yellow or whatever. I think!

Perfectly legal to own along with blank firing caps without a license.
Common sense on where carried and its use will keep you out of trouble.

My understanding of it is that under the VCR act it is an offence to use an imitation firearm in a public place, hence why the new ones are bright colours. If you were to use it and a member of the public saw it and complained then I'm pretty certain that would be classed as a firearms offence, and we all know what happens then if you're a certificate holder.
If you want to fire blanks for dog training purposes then it is recommended that you use a single shot blank firer that bears absolutely no resemblane to a gun, that way if someone were to complain you are only guilty of public nuisance, if they even bothered to press charges.
I have one of the following for dog training.

Shop around, I got mine quite a bit cheaper than that. Plus it fits easily in your pocket.
