Theres a nice condition 1940 Inglis DD Mk1 with tripod on gunbroker
mkl bren w/ tripod : Non-Firing Replicas at GunBroker.com
Could somebody with a log in do me a favour and ask the seller the gun and tripod serial number. Being a 1940 gun it must be some where before M1600.
TIA, Chris.

What an jackwagon responding like that. Its not as if its a live weapon.
Some people take the cake.
hence why it didn't sell.
I agree, I dont understand why people get cagey over serial numbers, after all, if some wanted to use the number, they are as likely just to make one up and use that one, unless I'm missing somthing. If he did tell the number, it maybe more desirable to a purchaser, who can check/verify it as a genuine example etc. I can tell its a very early Inglis model, very desirable in the UK, I would like to add the number to my list of Inglis surviving DDs but not likely now.
Cheers for the efforts. ATB, Chris.
I picked up 8 dewats a month or two back. All were Inglis, and of the 8, 6 were DD. Of those 6, some were DP serials, and some were in the M series. The one I am keeping for myself is M155, which is about as early as I am going to find for now I guess. There were a couple others in the M6XX range as well.
These were very poorly re-done from cut ups, so I have to take the time to mix and match, restore proper lengths and the fine lines in order to make the best ones presentable.

Any idea which nation they came from SC?
Yes, Peter, all came from Cdn service and were released as scrap metal in the mid 60s after being cut up by the Cdn Military. Most of the ones I have seen have been DP'd early Mk1 or Mk1m model. There were the odd BSA early bipods on some, but the bulk were pure Canadian.
Very Nice, M155 is the older brother to my M177. Can you PM me the serial numbers inc. the DP numbers (If thats ok).
Cheers, Chris.
Here are the numbers of the guns that remain:
M155 , 1940 Inglis DD Mk1
M1588, 1940 Inglis DD Mk1
DP354, 1941 Inglis DD Mk1
DP1080 , 1941 Inglis Mk1m
DP1261, 1943 Inglis Mk1m
Some of the ones I sold off already had DP numbers as well as a no prefix number underneath that. Not sure the meaning of the second number...kind of wish I had taken a photo of them now. I will have one slightly larger batch come in the spring which should include mk1, mk1m, and mk2 guns.
