SOLD. Manufactured in huge numbers during WWII and beyond, The Sten was probably the most utilitarian but effective SMG of the period. Produced from pressed and welded steel plate with minimal machining the Sten was relatively cheap in terms of both materials and labour. Having said this, the MKV model was by far the best quality version of the Sten produced. The previous wire/T-stocks were replaced with a wooden stock, a pistol grip was added and the barrel was adapted for No4 type sights and to take the standard UK bayonets of the period. A second pistol grip was also added below the barrel jacket, but this was often removed (as in this case) with many users preferring to support the weapon via the magazine/housing. This M/78 (Elkingtron & Co Birmingham) example is in good overall condition with much finish intact. It has a matching numbered stock and magazine well and is complete with one magazine, 5 rounds of inert 9mm parabellum, sling and spike bayonet. Deactivated to the new EU specification with removable magazine and stock. Existing collectors should note that the EU specification for the deactivation of SMG is almost identical to the previous UK spec. The only real difference is a slight adaption to the magazine/well that is not externally visible. Sorry - no international sales.
