Gun with Extra Magazines and Accessories - Serial no. E758, 9 mm cal., 8 inch round bbl., textured black
finish, metal stock. The successor to the STEN Gun of World War II fame, the Sterling was essentially the peak of

three position “A R S” selector switch, checkered grip, and an underfolding stock. Included with the lot are eight extra magazines (seven Sterling, one STEN), magazine pouch (marked for an Uzi) and small spare parts.
CONDITION: Very fine, with 80% of the textured black finish, showing some flaking and material loss on the heat shield and stock, and mild handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms
Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
