I'm pretty sure this was Fred Kasse's company.  He was a well know collector/dealer who ran around with Dolf Goldsmith and the like.  He was friends with my father, and he died a few years back.  
Good times,
Blake

There was an interview with dolf goldsmith in Small arms review a few years ago that talked about Fred quite a bit.  Like i say, he was a good dude but i was a small child when i met him.  I have seen several of his 1919s, and a few conversions he did but i personally havent seen a STEN that he built.

Good times

Its an OK gun. I had to have some welds redone and the ejector was too short and had to be replaced (also welded into the receiver)
