Introduced in 1944, the Mark V STEN replaced the full metal construction of earlier STENs with wood furniture, including a forward pistol grip and a No. 4 Mark I SMLE style muzzle with protected front blade sight and lugs compatible with the No. 9 Mark I socket bayonet. The rear sight is a fixed peep. The front grip is attached with a swiveling collar in the area of the "R.F.I. marked" perforated heat shield, and the trigger housing is correctly welded to the receiver tube with an "R" and "A" selector switch and a varnished wood grip. Includes a bayonet with metal scabbard, canvas sling, and two extra magazines in a canvas magazine pouch. Provenance: The Allan Cors Collection
