Super Rare Sten MKIIS Sten Coming To Auction

[johnthedford]

Most everyone know I retired for the most part. I still am moving some ammo on GB. Anyways: I consigned my MKIIS Sten. This is truthfully probably a once in lifetime to own one of these. I consigned with Morphys.

MODS IF THIS VIOLATES THE RULES PLEASE ADVISE

Yes sir. SUPER rare. Hate to see it go but...time change.

Allowing Ian to shoot it was a smart move. I bet it goes for a boatload.

Cool gun, and great vids.

Wow, I just saw it was up to $66k (I assume without buyer's premium) and the auction is still ongoing. Well done! What a cool piece of history.

I will never forget buying that gun. The east coast sandwich came in second with a lowball offer.

Brit butt stock
Long Branch 1944-45 tube
Brit S&S mag well
Brit Mk6 pattern can - but apparently without the Brit inspectors markings - so possibly (probably?) a MACV-SOG can rather than British.
