I have these 4 Bren spare barrel holdalls which I recently purchased at a militaria fair and I was wondering if Forum members would be able to help me by identifying the country of manufacture/origin, please. I have identified each holdall with a number between 1 and 4 purely for identification purposes so that we know which holdall we are talking about. I randomly assigned each holdall one of these numbers marked on a label and on each picture you will see the label with the number on it, identifying the holdall.
I'm not sure that holdall number 4 is even for a U.K./Canadian/Australian spec Bren because the pocket is not as deep as on the other three examples and it does not readily take the standard wallet. Although the wallet will slide into the pocket it is not deep enough to easily close the flap, without using undue force which could rip the canvas.
I would appreciate any help with identification, please and any further information is always interesting. It is mainly the country of origin that I am particularly interested in, rather than the specific company that made it. Thanks.Information
