Adrian.
I think it is short for, “DEactivated WAr Trophy”. Not certain where this term originated. David

Davids explanation of the Dewat term is correct, and here in Canada the terms deac and dewat are used interchangeably. I am not sure, but I suspect the term may have originated with the many MG08 and MG08-15 guns brought back and distributed after WW1.
