To legally possess a muzzle loading firearm which is to be actually used, rather than kept solely as an ornament or curio, a Firearm Certificate (FAC) is necessary irrespective of the age of the firearm. All the same restrictions apply as they do to a modern breech-loading firearm.
To legally possess blackpowder for use in a firearm it is necessary to hold a, "Certificate to Acquire and Keep Explosives".

You can possess a black powder pistol without a licence if you have no intention of using it. If you want to actually use one you need a Firearms certificate
and a certificate to keep explosives.
