If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I'll jump in here with a pic to prove it. Both of these are marked 'Long Branch' and one has the Chinese markings indicating the intent to export the gun to China ... a bit of a switch!

It looks to me that your Stens are of a nicer construction then British and others. Are these original or (sorry to ask) rebuilds? Do you have other photos of them you can post or email me?

Thanks

These stens have been deactivated and restored for appearances sake. IIRC, Canadian made firearms have a great reputation for quality of construction. Not being under direct attack during the war probably didn't hurt. :wink:

Here's another pic I have kicking around:
