Beyond repair sten gun!

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

This is a bit poorly.  I suppose you could still club someone with it!

[peter monahan]

Indeed!  More than just a little challenging for a gunsmith to restore.  Where was it dug up, do you know?

First dug-up sten I've seen, thanks for posting the photos.  Looks like there may not be many more generations who might find such artifacts before they are nothing but a reddish stain in the ground.

Regards

Brian

hello readers.

I do not want to steal Jock's thunder but if this was found in Jock's present residence area it could well be left during the last several days of combat actions in Northern Germany just before the capitulation in early May, 1945.

Near my home area Rotenburg old earth works could still be seen in the 1960's.

It is from the local area North of Soltau, specific area I don't know.
