44 caliber Army percussion revolver with matching serial numbers and a single-line Hartford (Conn.) address on the barrel. Two witnesses to America’s turbulent Civil War era lead the Antique Handguns category, the first being a Colt 1860 fluted. The selection includes both antique and modern rifles, shotguns and handguns and the types of elusive ammunition and accessories most desired by today’s collectors. – Top-notch guns from premier collections comprise the high-powered lineup slated for Morphy’s February 17-19 Field & Range Firearms Auction. Based on the small amount of information I could find on Interrand/Larand it appears that he went into business after the 1968 GCA.DENVER, Pa. What if both were supplied here though I would assume that Larand would be accompanied by a domestic address, if they imported the gun. From England to Larand is a helluva typo.but stranger things have happened, huh? And we all know that once it is on a form 4, it is there forever.Īs a side note, box 4a does asks for maker or importer. Not sure if anyone here can tell me what 'Larand' means. I finally have this SMG at home after retrieving if from the cold, sticky gun, grabbing fingers of the ATF (long story, dealer still doesn't know why they were there). I assume war-bring back and amnesty registered. Sadly, I have no other information or provenance. Maker of this gun is: 'British Military Larand'. After this thread, we got a copy of the form4 from the ATF. We bought the gun (and three others) at an estate auction, and the owners widow could find the form 4 (only form missing out of about 12).

Can you post some pictures of the rest of it? As an update to this thread: I originally asked the manufacturer info because the form 4 for the Sten was missing as we were trying to get it transferred.and with no maker information on the gun, we could not fill anything out.

My best guess, from what little I can see, is it might be an amnesty gun with the serial number re-stamped, MP and L001 added. I looked up MP and it’s not a manufacturer’s code. I don’t know what the “MP” is or the “L001”. The original can still be seen, it’s just faint. But it looks like it was re-stamped at some point. So, “FF 78146” is the original serial number. The second “F” in the prefix is part of the serial allocation system, A through Z. The first prefix letter “F” is for Fazakerley.

To correct the problem a second serial number was stamped on the bottom of the magazine housing. Sometimes they get completely obliterated. It is very common for ROF Fazakerley assembled guns to have these faint markings. The very faint one on the top is the original serial number. The magazine housing has two serial numbers on it. Requirements for marking locations have changed today, but on pre '86 guns, you never know where you might find them. I've got a Colt AR-15A2 conversion with manufacturer's markings that are only visible when you remove the pistol grip. Also remove the magwell and look under there. Strip the gun and look in every conceivable place for manufacturer's markings. When it comes to NFA, I've learned to never say never. This doesn't mean there aren't variations out there. I've observed at least five different DLO marking locations on Sterling tubes ranging from bill board size to very tiny, but all have been on the left or right side of the tube. The Wilson 'Stenchester' I owned had the serial number in a conspicuous location on the tube as have other Wilson Arms, Brunswick, GA examples I've seen. So weird to me - I guess the magwell is the serial numbered, registered part? Nothing on the tube or what I would call the trigger housing / receiver. On the bottom is another series of numbers. There is a very faint series of number above 'STEN Mk II' on the top. Yes, 'top' or 'bottom' is a better way to describe it.

M/78 is the manufacturer’s code for Elkinton & Co of Birmingham. You might have to strip the paint off to find it. It will be either on the top or bottom of the mag well.
