A question for UK/commonwealth sub-machine gun collectors

[Brit plumber]

I know of one deact 1921, it was an ex IRA gun heavily scrubbed to remove serial numbers but they missed the now well known secret one. It was captured by the British and was sold onto Baptys (or is it Bapties) with a lot of other odd guns. Who, many years later sold it on again.

I may have seen that when it was up for sale after Bapty sold it, pretty sure it was on a dealers stall at War & Peace probably around 94/95 ish...?
Wasn't in great condition if I remember, and was without the Cutt's which typical of those early numbered IRA guns, and wasn't cheap, even then, and a few of us were looking at it, not really sure if it was real, faked or what.
