VS00001 TO VS35000
VS35001 TO VS45000
VS45001 TO VS145000
VS395001 TO VS407500
One furthur allocation VS408001 TO VS420325
All the above have the " RTL" Logo
ROF (6) FAZACKERLY ( Manufacturer )
Total manufactured 400,000
Batches
VS145001 TO VS395000
VS420326 TO VS570325
Only 107,606 of the last batch numbers were used , thierfore the last fazackerly sten No VS 527932 HAS THE HONOUR OF BEING THE VERY LAST PRODUCTION STEN GUN MANUFACTURED. THE LOCATION OF THIS LAST WEAPON IS HOWEVER UNKNOWN .
Barring of course any future information that may come to light , hope this helps a bit . The other question of course is ........have you found the last one ?
