 inch in diameter that is closed for a distance of not less than one-half
 inch  from  the  front-end of its barrel with the same material of which
 the imitation weapon is made. "Imitation weapon" does  not  include  any
 nonfiring  replica  of  an  antique  firearm,  the original of which was
 designed, manufactured and produced prior to  eighteen  hundred  ninety-
 eight.
   §  2.  This  act  shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
 have become a law.
