Introduced in 1941, the STEN Gun was a significant deviation from the hand-made, engineered SMGs that were the standard of the interbellum years, constructed chiefly from stamped and welded sheet metal and well suited to mass production. Though somewhat rough to the eye, the STEN was the quick and dirty bullet hose that the Allies needed, being widely issued by the Commonwealth of Nations, air dropped to resistance forces throughout Europe, and imitated by both the Americans and the Germans. Fixed blade front and peep rear sights, with a small importers mark near the muzzle of the barrel and the model and serial number markings on the magazine well. The two-position selector is present on the trigger group, with a vented handguard and a tubular buttstock. An extra magazine is included.

Very good, with 60% of the Arsenal refurbished blue finish, showing mild spotting, handling marks and areas of brown patina. Mechanically excellent.
