It looks like an MP18 or  MP28 but if you paint them as British a Lanchester.

Old Lewis gun, a grappling hook and a Lee Enfield?

D'oh - only saw the weapon stock and assumed it was a rifle.  Clearly not a Lee Enfield and too chunky for a Sten gun so german SMG most likely.

I would love to have one with a pistol, does anyone else see a vague resemblance to Lobster Johnson?

You must read more Hellboy if asking about Lobster Johnson.

He was a WWII era hero whose ghost Hellboy ran into in one of the series.

He also got his own mini-series.

Must admit I have never read any Hellboy, only ever seen the Films. I liked ABE in the film thats why I pick him as an avatar. One of these days I will post a new one more suited to me.

He is a great character, I didn't think there really was enough of him to be honest. Then again I haven't delved into his solo series.

Interesting idea about the headswap. Then again the SMG doesn't look too bad either!

The subguns could easily be Lancasters, which were much more solidly built then a sten gun.  Lancasters had milled receivers, a wood stock and a much heavier and sturdier magazine well.  Lancasters and the Sten were both the precursor to the Sterling sub gun.  Lancasters were made in much smaller numbers because of their greater cost.
