Original British WWII Sten Submachine Gun Airborne Bandoleer by H.W.&S. - Rare - Dated 1944

Original Item. Only One Available. This is the first of these we have offered at IMA, an original WWII Airborne Sten Bandoleer. This rare piece of equipment was designed to hold seven Sten Gun magazines and saw use within the airborne division as well as other elite fighting units.

This example retains markings on the strap:

H.W.&S. LTD. 1944 (BROAD ARROW)
CAT. NO. AA5332

The bandoleer is complete except that it’s missing the adjustment buckle on the strap. All seven sleeves retain their flap, strap, and “latch” pieces.

An extremely scarce example to find in any original condition. Comes ready for further research and display!
