This is my new Sten. There are many other like it, but this one is now mine...

Thank you for posting the pictures. It’s an interesting gun and suppressor. The ground welds are consistent with other S Stens I have seen. Though I have never seen markings like that on the magazine housing. I don’t know if they are correct. All the ones I have seen have the S after the II on the top side of the housing.

The suppressor was clearly used with a thermal sleeve. The mottled spots mark where the sleeve was. I don’t see any signs of high heat… the change in colors you see when steel is heated to high temperatures.

Without seeing the internal parts I can’t tell if the suppressor is an original or a copy.
