STEN magazine identification
I just got an order in from Tactical Innovations of STEN mags. When bought in quantity they are just 3.49 each. I got 25 and I found that about 5 of them are such that I will save them for spare parts (or refinish them) 5 are in really nice shape, and the other 15 are 'pretty nice'.
While I was cleaning the cosmoline off, I found my mind drifting, as it often does as I get older. I wondered if the mag in my hands was used by some Canadian or Brit in WWII to defend a postion, or on a raid. I wished the mags could talk to me ..... but I digress -
One thing I did find was that many were stamped in a variety of ways. One of the most interesting one to me was marked "CAL 9" and under that was "D.R.P. SCHMEISSER" Did the Germans ever make a STEN or STEN copy? BTW - this mag was one of the nicest of the bunch. It looked too new to be WWII surplus.
Is there is website that shows the different variations of STEN mags that anyone knows about?
