STEN MAGAZINES:

STEN MAGAZINE comparison - Above are samples of the German "Schmesser System" MP28 SMG Mag (circa 1928) that the WW2 British STEN Mag was copied from. German Mags were usually machined during fabrication for smooth fit and blued.

British STEN Mags (samples shown below) were mostly left as stamped. STEN Mags have been seen to be blued, painted (black or gray), or left raw.
