Bren serial numbers.

A 1942(?) Inglis MkI(m) number: 4T9181

This is painted on the top of a New Zealand type cartridge case case catcher I've just acquired. So presumably that's where the gun itself ended up at some point?

Just seen Lithgow A-3511 a double dovetail Mk1 to very early DA spec. The number looked like 351 but under the paint and crud iit was 3511

Hi Chris,
I have the following 'Inglis', 1943 MK II . The only serial number i can find is on the barrel nut, A1005. There are a few smaller marks here and there, let me know if you want any photos.

Here's mine:

Dewat....bit of a piece together, bought from Wolverine Supplies in Canada a while back. Looks like the S/N is 2L2236

1940 'M'...... The original serial number will have been M-xxxx. That's an early bird

Hi,
First off, I'm a Texas Plumber

I have a MK1 parts kit with a cut up receiver so I cannot be certain if all the receiver parts are from the same weapon.

NavyShooter:
Your serial number is no 2L at all. It is DP21. Not sure what the 2236 numbers are...they may have been added by the re-creator to try and make the numbers match with the lower. Note that your barrel nut also has the DP21 serial number electro pencilled on to it.

Some of the Cdn DPs were factory rejects and some were some were done later in the guns life. Sometimes they are found with the original serial numbers burnished off and a DP number added, other times they have the original serial and the DP marks added.
