The only one that looks dodge to me is the one at the bottom, but I would need to see it closer up to know if its a prohibited article.
That said, they are all offensive weapons as soon as you threaten someone with it in your home. It would be down to the courts to decide what the outcome of that one is.
Out side the home, I cant see any of those being lawful as they are all very much designed for combat. The only expection might be the pair of hunting type knives in the middle, but unless you were in the middle of nowhere (i.e hunting!) they would also be landing you in hot water in public places... thus you would be arrested.
That all said I am sure the poster knows all this

Not exactly right, but close enough, mines got a folding stock, 20" true cylinder barrel and 9 shot capacity, 8 if you're using 3" magnums. Not legal in your part of the world. I also have a Baikal double barrelled OU for skeet shooting, .22 air rifle, .22 air pistol and a .177 air pistol.
I also used to have an older version of this for trap shooting

PS - As long as you don't hire, sell or loan them they're fine......
.........or for that matter use them
Section 141 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 provides that any person who manufactures, sells or hires or offers for sale or hire, exposes or has in his possession for the purpose of sale or hire, or lends or gives to any other person, a weapon to which that section applies shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale or both. The importation of any such weapon is prohibited.

Indeed we are. 20" is the minimum length. Although it would be virtually impossible to buy a replacement now, as they need a UK proof mark, and you couldn't get one proofed in the UK as they're illegal. So I couldn't import one from the US for example. Pre-Hungerford the license cost 50p and was issued by the local parish council, and you could have any sort of shotgun you liked as long as it wasn't full auto.
