Authentic replica of this machine gun that was born in 1940 when England was isolated and threatened by an imminent invasion by Germany. Its government urgently needed to equip its soldiers with a weapon of its own production. Thus was born the Sten machine gun, a weapon with a questionable but reliable design. And also one of the most easily recognizable weapons of the Second World War that would end up being used by airborne troops and special operations forces as resistance in almost all countries occupied by German soldiers.

The Stem Mark II was used by Commonwealth forces during World War II and the Korean War. Its most notable features were its simple design and low production cost.

The name STEN is an acronym derived from the names of its principal weapons designers: Mayor Reginald Shepherd, Harold Turpin and Enfield, the site of London's Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF). Some four million Stens of various versions were produced during the 1940s.

The Sten machine gun used a 9x19mm cartridge, which was a prize if German ammunition was captured as it could be used as well. The Sten was small and could easily be concealed separately, and was therefore appreciated for partisan operations in Europe.

It is manufactured in Spain by Denix with quality metal.
