Bren, indirect fire/rotary line sight with all accessories complete in steel carry case. $ 695.- *sold*


So what is it? It doesn't look like the plessey sight I'm used to seeing. I know that other British weapons of that time period used the same dovetail. Is this a mortar sight? I'm also used to the Bren sight being housed in a wooden case which fits in to the binocular web case. This one is in a tin box.

Its for the Vickers MG, It is an indirect fire sight. The plessey was used on the Bren but you could use the indirect fire sight if you put down stakes and laid the gun...

Heres some pics of mine and some other stuff. There quite different but I heard as well that the Plessey line sight would fit on top of the Vickers sight for reasons unknown so who knows.

I have also seen pics of the MKI Bren with the vickers unit on it.

I dont know it could be for the bren but I do know this definetly is
