    Sten silencer cover genuine or reproduction ?

    Hi

    Would appreciate some feedback on the originality or not of this Sten cover
    It is marked on the inside with a broad arrow stamp and can just make out M E C 1944 it also appears to have also been stamped on the outside but is very faint but appears to be M E C again.

    Thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction).

    Terence,
    It looks OK in photos with relevant degredation for the years used, but there are so many fakes around I wouldn't like to take a bet, without a closer inspection. Provenance from the previous keeper has to be the key I'm afraid in this case.
