    Top photo 2nd from left Corporal seems to be holding an air rifle.

    On closer examination a No 8 .22 or an SMG with wooden furniture.
    No 8  or a Sten derivative.jpg

    One for the Small Arms weapon experts.

    It's a Lanchester, As Ceol said.

    I love Lanchesters. Should've bought that proper brass deac a decade back...

    No Sten heritage.
    An Mp28 copy. Pretty much directly, excepting brass components on earlier marks as the navy took it on.
    Looks its best in full bayonet order.

    I had 3 Deac Lanchesters over the years, they were really cracking pieces of kit such quality especially compared to the Stens I had - also had the pouches (think I still have a pair) and a set of 6 spare mags, they can't have been the most comfortable thing to wear when fully loaded - my deacs all went when the law changed a few years ago
