Product Information

WWII Lanchester Submachine gun, MK1. Dated 1942 with broad arrow and military acceptance stamps. It has its correct 50 round capacity stick magazine and early rear sight. The same same rear sight that was used on the De Lisle. These weapons were more or less a direct copy of the German Bergmann MP28 submachine gun and were very well made. The Lanchester was intended to be the standard issue British submachine gun but was to expensive to make. The Sten was its replacement. They were predominately issued to the British Royal Navy with small quantities also used by the RAF for guarding aerodromes. They were only manufactured during WWII with relatively small amounts produced. The initials "SA" on the magazine housing denote that this one was manufactured by Sterling with this mark only found on early production examples. The first 50,000 Lanchester's were issued to the British Navy. This one is fitted with the correct canvas sling. Deactivated to old specification it has full working action can be stripped, cocked and dry fired.
