Nice find.

I pick up a pistol gripped para-trooper folding stock for the STEN on ebay a few years ago. I haven't seen one for sale sence.
 
Some are real, some are fake. I suspect Stencollector could tell you more about yours, but the real ones were made for the MKIIS silenced Sten intended for special ops.
 
A limited number were made up in Canada. They are illustrated in the Cdn. Sten training manual that I have. I'll look it up - there was a Mk. designation for a Sten fitted with one. Mk. II/I. In Laidler's book there are copies of the Cdn. directions for making them out of standard "loop" stocks. The one illustrated does not appear to be Cdn. WZ 26 sounds Polish. Who knows?
As Claven2 has mentionned there are many fakes, to the point that they are being manufactured in the US. Others were made in heaven only knows which countries' workshops over the years.

Dec 7, 1941.
I dont think anything of any significance happened that day.:confused:
 
Really? Open or closed bolt, CA or SA, how much? Newly made up?

Open bolt semi, newly made receiver tubes and mag wells. One was fed from a Suomi drum, one was a MK5-ish Sten (fed from Suomi 36/5 stick), two were Mk2 Stens and the last was a bottom fed Sten (ala the BD3008 for looks). Guy wanted 2500 a piece for them, it was a CGN'r formerly known as Spencer selling them. Registered as restricted due to barrel lengths.
 
I bought one a couple weeks back .. awesome workmanship and dead reliable. You can't go wrong unless you are looking for a collectable. Here are some pics .. mine is in the top pic:
