AFAIK the "felon in possession" BS is federal law, so the federal definition would apply. So it should be a deadly weapon but still not a firearm. Are they charging him with a GCA 1968 violation?
If there's also a state law prohibiting possession, the state may expand the definition to include antiques.
It's a hypothetical question, since Homer Wright used a modern gun.
