    Haganah - TMT IV Sten markings

    I found some TMT IV marked Sten parts at a local gun show.





    There’s a small Star of David below the second T.

    Is it a star of Davis? Looks like a 5 pointed star to me?

    You’re right Peter. It’s a five pointed star.

    I found a picture of one that’s in better condition.

    Just to the left of the 40147 is an IDF property mark.

    Thank you. I was trying figure that one out. I should known it’s Hebrew.

    Too many projects already and I think it would mean more to someone who is into the history of Israel.

    The welding on the butt looks the same.

    The barrel has the indexing notch and the trunnion has the pin, like the Mk5.

    The cocking handle is trying to hide inside the bolt spigot.
