Besides my interest in firearms, I am also known as a collector of historic Western art. For example, I have a pair of paintings that once hung in a Texas whorehouse. I'm waiting for pictures of those to appear on the internet. Several years ago I purchased a painting from an art dealer in San Francisco. A few month later, someone contacted me to sell the the painting that I had already bought. He pulled the picture from the art dealer's website. Now he was trying to fraudulently sell the painting to me that was already mine. All I had to do was wire him the money, and he would ship the painting to me. Last month I saw another painting being advertised for sale. I knew that painting. It belonged to a friend and fellow art collector. I asked him why he was selling the painting. It was news to him. What we think happened is that someone pulled the picture of the painting from the website of the auction house that originally sold the painting. This was another attempt to defraud someone. It is one thing to pull a picture from a website for a non-nefarious purpose, but it is an entirely different story to pull a picture to be used as part of a scheme to defraud.

This is where I got the picture: https://wwiiafterwwii.wordpress.com/2015/10/04/lanchester-submachine-gun-post-wwii-use/

I sure would like to see the foldouts.

This is just a picture I found. My son's camera can take a close up picture. My camera cannot. If you look at the lower right side of the picture, you can see the number 42 stamped on the top rear of the magazine housing. Are the other two CF numbers an inspector's code? It sure would be great if H56293 was still in existence.

Could they have marked theirs L.B. ?

Mine is marked L.B. Probably very common.

Mine is H56292 and made in 1943. How many others have one made by Boss? Since Boss was supposed to have made only 3900, I would expect there arn't many here in the US.

Since this is the Sten and Sterling board, I was hoping that the predecessor of the Sten and Sterling would be accepted here. A little bit of humor.

Here are some pictures.

I'm new here. Is a Lanchester acceptable or it it an unwanted stepchild? Most Lanchesters were made by Sterling, but mine is one of the rare ones made by BOSS.
