The German copy of the sten was the MP3008. It was an emergency measure towards the end of the war. There is a modern reproduction available today as the BD3008. It was not a direct copy, as it had a downward facing, non rotating magwell.
There were also some 28,000 stens made in Germany in 1944. These were exact right down to the markings, and were meant to be used for clandestine ops.
