    It brings to the fore, that the Sten was probably authentic even with that "creosote" all over it.
    What is strange is, that noone seems to have or know much about this incredible lady as she, probably wanted to remain in the dark whilst she interviewed these Nazi henchmen on the lead up to the Nurenberg trials!!
    Another lost story

    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.

    And iIF it was original as per the similar Sterling process, it would have been done OVER grey phosphate and not white metal.

    There was a book about this called "The Last Ditch", about the "Britishicon Resistance Movement" and the "stay-behind squads" tasked with sabotage and eliminating collaborators. Brig. Colin Gubbins was the OC. of the organization.

    The tactic works if carried out ruthlessly. Poland was a unique example: there was no collaborationist government in Poland because collaborators were swiftly eliminated by the Home Army and other resistance movements.

    On the other hand, Capt. Burgoyne may have felt the need for some protection as the article alluded.

    Now, was she related the ill-starred general of Brandywine fame?

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
