We had the Mainland Arms and Militaria Show here yesterday and this was my display of production Stens and other SMG's that were influential in some way to the Sten development.  |

Thanks David. The show was welll attended and the press arrived and took a few photos and gave the show a good write-up in this morning's paper. I had quite a few old soldiers come and recount their various experiences with the Sten and it would be fair to say they were not a popular gun! Jamming and insufficent stopping power being the most numerous complaints. The display won joint first place with a magnificent display of NZ Army 'lemon squeezers' as judged by the show organisers (the $100 has gone into my collection account!)  |

Thanks Banksy! My Sten collection covers the basic models but I still need a Mk IIS and a Mk 6 to cover the suppressed models. It has taken about 28 years to gather the current selection. Opportunity and financial ability have to coincide! |
