The Last Sterling Brochure

**MuzzleFlash** · 06-14-2005, 03:04 AM

Many thanks to David Howroyd for kindly providing this keepsake.

Sterling Armament Company was purchased in 1989 by British Aerospace - a fact well documented in the Guns of Dagenham. What is not so well documented, is that subsequently the remaining firearms inventory was sold to a dealer in Devon, England. This gentleman purchased a batch to gold plate and offered them to very well heeled foreign officials. It is unknown how successful that endeavor was.

This brochure is just about as rare as the last of these L2A3's. I prefer to think of it as a suiting tribute to one of the finest subguns made in the 20th century.

To the men and women of the Sterling company, well done. Well done, indeed!
