The Lanchester is a submachine gun, described in British service as a machine carbine, designed by George Lanchester as an evolution of the German MP28/II. It was assembled by the Sterling Armament Company together with W. W. Greener and Boss & Co between 1941 and 1945, chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge, and produced in three versions, the Mk I, Mk I star and Mk I star star. It was primarily issued to the Royal Navy during the Second World War and remained in use with Commonwealth navies for years afterward, staying in British service until 1960.
