Sterling N-5, to be precise.Sterling.png
N-5's don't exist. That is a sterling M-3.
but most of us have gotten used to calling it the N-5
let's think of it as a nickname. It's been deemed a misnomer, but it's not that big of a deal

Found I think maybe a better clearer version
Single head sterling. Most definitely.

why? enlighten me. People have called it the N-5 for many years now. I'll bet if you asked someone, "Hey, every seen a Sterling M-3?" They wouldn't know what it was.

Chill out. There are accounts of some single head Sterlings being tagged with N-5, M-3, hell even M-45. Not that big of a deal.

Then I'd tell them. It is the actual model designation.

It's not a big deal. It's not the end of the world if somebody calls you the wrong name. My swim coach called me "Giancarlo" for whatever reason for the longest time and I couldn't care less. Anyways back on topic, don't want to get in trouble.

Are you sure? I think we would know because there's street view. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1044501 ... 328!8i1664

here's an aerial view of a 125 for comparison. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Oakla ... 92.8215666
