I saw an article in the local paper about the small arms factory. My mother worked there during the war while my dad was overseas with the Royal Canadian Regiment. I am proud of my parents for giving us our freedom.

FOR GOD,KING AND COUNTRY:

LOOKS LIKE RACHEL IS MAKING THE FINAL CHECK ON THIS 9mm STEN, SUB MACHINE GUN, BET SHE'S THINKING HAVE A GO, AT'EM BOY'S AND GET ME A COUPLE OF JERRIES.
SHE LOOKS COMFORTABLE WITH THAT STEN, WITH A FINGER ON THAT TRIGGER DOESN'T SHE...BY JOVE SHE HAS A MAGAZINE IN THAT WEAPON!

FOR YOU 1960s TWILIGHT ZONE FANS, REMEMBER THE EPISODE "I SHOT AN ARROW INTO THE AIR" THE CREW CARRIED 9mm, STEN SUB MACHINE GUNS SEASON 1, EPISODE 15...AIRED JANUARY 1960

SO HOW MUCH DID A WWII STEN COST:
LET'S SAY ABOUT 2 POUNDS,7 SHILLINGS, IN USD WWII MONEY THATS ABOUT $9.68, 7 SHILLINGS IS WORTH $1.68
