MkV Sten Gun - Another...

[peregrinvs]

Received the gun from D&B today...

Very pleasantly surprised as it is in significantly better condition than I was expecting. Needs a good clean, but other than the barrel nut, trigger mechanism cover and a few minor parts, it seems to have most of its original finish. As requested from D&B, it has an earlier 'MkV' stamped magazine housing. I was also pleased to find it has the earlier butt with the No.4 buttplate.

A few minor niggles, it has a Mk1 barrel nut (the purist in me would prefer a Mk2 - any sources?), the No.4 foresight protector is slightly bent, the foresight blade is loose and it appears to have 'mismatched' woodwork. All amendable though.

So what can you tell me about it from the markings other than it has an Elkington & Co made magazine housing?

To echo Geoff's sentiments; grabbem' while they're hot folks...
