WW2 British Mk2 Sten Gun Cock and Click DEWAT

The WW2 British Mk2 Sten Gun Cock and Click DEWAT is a deactivated example of the iconic submachine gun issued to British and Commonwealth forces during the Second World War. The Mark 2 variant, introduced in 1941, is characterized by its simple tubular receiver, side-mounted magazine housing, and skeletal stock. Designed for mass production, the Mk2 Sten became known for its utilitarian construction and ease of assembly. This DEWAT (Deactivated War Trophy) specimen retains functional mechanical features such as cocking and clicking actions, allowing safe demonstration of the bolt mechanism while ensuring the firearm remains inoperable. The finish shows standard wartime use, with blued metal components and original markings consistent with period manufacture. These deactivated arms serve as tangible examples of military engineering and are valued for historical study, collecting, or educational reference related to the equipment used by Allied infantry during WWII.
