DEactivated WAr Trophy. A machine gun or other restricted weapon in the US, that was rendered unserviceable without destroying it, and is on the NFA registry. Typically, the breech is welded closed. It can still be transferred, doesn't have to be torch cut, and can be restored to function by filing an ATF Form 1 and paying a $200 tax.
He paid $99 for a DEWAT Thompson submachine gun just before the 1968 amnesty, and sold it last month for $20,000.
