A few facts.....

Common to popular belief, the name Sten originated from the surnames of its two designers Shepard and Turpin and EN for England NOT Enfield.

Stens were originally produced with three types of metal covering:
  • Semi-matt black bronzing, the type used on most British weapons prior to WW2.
  • Grey satin bronzing.
  • Coat of black paint.

Many different types of finishes were applied on these weapons:
  • Parkerisation
  • Olive green paint
  • Grey matt paint
  • Camouflage paint


The northeast sten will accept all aftermarket stocks available for the Sten such as those made for the Denix, see the link below where to purchase....
