No. 2 Mk. 1* Slotted
A small quantity of pistols, mostly in the 3Txxx range, were made up from Chinese frames and include the stock slot. Beware of fakes.
DP Pistols
Approximately 150 No. 1 type pistols, some with the Chinese inscription, were made up as display and presentation pistols. Serial numbers will range from approximately DP1 to DP150.
Inglis Diamond
In the last week of production, Inglis marked a small quantity of pistols with their trademark, the word Inglis within a diamond. Both the No. 1 and No. 2-style pistols were so marked. Some pistols remained in the white while others were parkerized. It is believed that fewer than 50 pistols were marked.
New Zealand Issue
Only 500 pistols were acquired by New Zealand in the 1960s. A small quantity was modified and marked by the NZ Special Air Service.
British Issue
A large quantity of pistols have been imported from the British Ministry of Defense over the past several years. These pistols often display a black “paint” finish and may be marked “FTR” (Factory Thorough Repair) or “AF” (meaning unknown).
Dutch Issue
The Netherlands used over 10,000 Inglis pistols. Early versions display a small crown over W mark on the rear sight while later models will have Dutch serial numbers, Belgian proofs, and Belgian barrels.
Belgian Issue
Belgium received 1,578 pistols as aid from Canada in the 1950s. These remained in use with the Gendarmerie until recently. Some pistols will display a gray “paint” finish and have numbered magazines. These have been wrongly identified as Danish navy in the past.
SAVAGE
Savage Model 1907
Canada purchased 500 Model 1907 pistols sometime during World War I. Chambered for 7.65mm. These pistols were later redirected to England but most will have the Canadian Broad Arrow stamped on the frame near the safety.
SUBMACHINE GUNS
Canadian Sten MK II
These are Canadian built Sten MK II guns built at Long Branch between February 1942 and September 1945. A total of 133,497 guns were produced in this interval. Canadian built Stens are marked “LONG BRANCH” on the magazine housing with the date of manufacture.
NOTE: Canadian Stens do not bring a premium over British-made Stens.

Sterling-Canadian C1
Chambered for the 9mm cartridge, this submachine gun features a 7.75" barrel and collapsible metal stock. The rate of fire is 550 rounds per minute. Weight is about 6 lbs. Produced from 1953 to 1988. Still made in India under license. Marked “SMG 9MM C1” on the magazine housing.
The Canadian version of the Sterling is much like the British except for a 30-round magazine without rollers as followers, a different type bayonet (FAL), and internal modifications. A 10-round magazine is also available. Designated the “C1” by the Canadian military. It was first produced in Canada in the late 1950s.
