*SOLD* Denix Sten MKII Replica Blue 7 3/4" *EXCELLENT NON-FIRING PROP-GUN*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

An authentic replica of this machine gun was born in 1940 when England was alone and threatened by an imminent invasion by Germany. The government was in urgent need of equipping their soldiers with a weapon of their own production. Thus was born the Sten submachine gun, a weapon with a debatable design and reliability but also one of the most easily recognizable of the Second World War. It would end up being used by both airborne troops and special operations forces as resistance to almost all the countries occupied by the Germans. It was used by the forces of the Commonwealth during World War II and the Korean War. Its most notable features were its simple design and low cost of production. The name STEN is an acronym derived from the names of the leading designers of weapons: Mayor Reginald Shepherd, Harold Turpin, and Enfield, the place where is located the Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) of London. Some four million Sten of several versions were produced during the 1940s .
