The Lanchester is a British 9×19mm Parabellum submachine gun manufactured by the "Sterling Armaments Company":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_Armaments_Company] between 1941 and 1945. It is a copy of the German MP28/II. It was primarily used by the Royal Navy during World War II, and to a lesser extent by the Royal Air Force Regiment (for airfield protection). The weapon took its name after "George Herbert Lanchester":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lanchester], who was charged with producing the weapon at the Sterling Armaments Company.
