Registered Transferrable British STEN Mark II Submachine Gun with Accessories and "Battle Damage", BATFE NFA/Class III C&R Machine Gun

One of the signature Commonwealth weapons of WWII, 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. This example shows what appears to be significant battle damage (attributed by the consignor as a bullet strike) on the right rear of the trigger housing, bending and cracking steel and driving the pins well through the other side; a machine bolt has been run through the traditional location of the selector, and though rough, and lacking semi-automatic function, the STEN still runs full auto. Blade front and peep rear sights, with the model marking on top of the magazine well and the serial number on the underside, ventilated heat shield, tan canvas sling, and a "T" profile metal stock. The name "Jeanot" is scratched into the left side of the housing; no information on this name is available. Included with the STEN are 13 extra magazines and three canvas pouches, two of which are installed on a canvas web belt (sans suspenders).

ConditionFair. A mixed brown and gray patina is present on the barrel and receiver, with a mixed brown/black on the magazine well and stock, and a stronger blue on the sear cover. The lower left side of the sear cover shows a split at the fold. The canvas items show some light stains. Mechanically pretty good, given the circumstances. NOTE: This item is restricted as a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) that is classified as a "Curios or Relic" as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These weapons are still subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
