**BRITISH STEN MARKED MK V (C&R).

**BRITISH STEN MARKED MK V (C&R). SN 16269. Cal. 9 mm. 7.8″ bbl. This broad arrow proofed Sten has a bolt which is matching to the receiver and includes one gray Parkerized magazine marked “M634” and three 25 rnd magazines in a white canvas magazine pouch. Left side of receiver is also marked with broad arrow over a “4 G2 C”. Detachable wooden buttstock with brass buttplate is SN 19691. Underside of mag housing is marked with broad arrow and logo “RTL”. There is also “M/78”. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. The Sten was an extremely reliable and inexpensive to produce submachine gun. It was a mainstay of British forces during WWII worldwide, and although derided by Soldiers as crudely built, it was a very effective and successful submachine gun. The Mark V model, introduced at the end of WWII was better fitted and finished then the earlier models. PROVENANCE: Collection of Carl “Bill” Morrison. CONDITION: Overall black enamel finish is about 30%, most of it being forward of the mag housing and forward of the trigger guard. The balance is bare metal showing a nice soft patina. Mag finish is excellent, near 100% gray Parkerized finish. Wooden hand grip is fine with some handling marks, as is the wooden buttstock. Brass buttplate has marking “M/216” with broad arrow at top of heel. Bore is in need of a cleaning but shiny with significant frosting to the rifling. Bolt face also in need of cleaning but is very good with crisp edges. Interior of receiver also needs cleaning, with a brown patina and some pitting. This does not in any way effect the function of the action. Two of the 25 rnd magazines have a gray Parkerized finish, the other a deep lustrous blue finish. Magazine pouch, although soiled, is completely serviceable. Overall this weapon shows evidence of some significant use but this is to be expected of a Sten. No doubt this would make an excellent shooter that you could take to the range over and over, never worrying about detracting from its value, and have loads of fun. 4-48645 JWK2 (4,000-6,000)
