I noticed this on eBay UK and the vendor thinks that it may be a leather spare barrel case for the bren. Was there such a thing as I've not seen one before?
I've seen the leather case for the cleaning rods/kit.

I seriously doubt it's for spare barrels. Box 50 of 71...

PL would be the best source for anything like this hopefully he will inform us as to the satchels correct use if not for a bren.
Yes, I have my doubts too, but it does look similar in style to the leather case used for the cleaning rods.Originally Posted by browningautorifle

That sounds about right.

I haven't ever seen one in leather but it LOOKS like a leather holdall - as used during the days of pack-saddlery. Note the spaces for all the stuff that you stuff on the webbing hioldall. Just my guess. Never been into leather. I'm more of a rubber man myself......
Like...the one piece overalls?

Whatever it is, it looks like it was never used.
If you really want to know, contact the maker and see if they have any idea:
