The Lanchester is a submachine gun (SMG) manufactured by the Sterling Armaments Company between 1941 and 1945. It is a copy of the German MP28/II and was manufactured in two versions Mk.1 and Mk.1*; the latter was a simplified version of the original Mk.1 with no fire selector and simplified sights. It was primarily used by the British Royal Navy during the Second World War and to a lesser extent by Royal Air Force regiments (for airfield protection).
