There won't be papers for a copper boiler made by the owner; but if well-made that should not be a problem regarding testing. If your friend was in a model-engineering society it may be able to help by giving the boiler a preliminary hydraulic test, and with finding the entire project a new home.

I would very much reiterate Nigels comments that a local club may be able to help. If the boiler has been built to the drawings you have then that will simplify testing. Good Luck, Noel
