This STEN sub-machine gun was imported from Britain by the Inter-American Import Export Company of Sacramento, California as a "sales sample" registered machine gun with "STEN-ENGLAND" as the manufacturer on record. One of the signature Commonwealth weapons of WW II, the STEN was largely constructed from tube steel and metal stampings, a significant departure from the previous generation of beautiful but expensive SMGs, giving the Allies a light, effective, and inexpensive close-quarters weapon. Blade front and peep rear sights, with the model marking on top of the magazine well and the serial number on the underside, which is repeated in white paint on the underside of the trigger group cover, the Inter-American markings on the barrel, and the "R" and "A" marked selector switch on the trigger group. Fitted with a tube steel buttstock with a tan canvas sling. Also included with the lot is approximately 34 extra magazines and an assortment of spare components.
