The word Bren doesn't do them justice does it. That's why I always describe them as the MAGNIFICENT Bren. Longest continually sering biot of kit in the British
Army, even outlasting the Vickers.
I never fail to savour the moment every time I have to use one in case it's the last. 10 rounds of single shots, followed by short bursts........... followed by a magazine of two bursts. I let my wife have a go a couple of months ago to see why it's better than sex. The earth didn't move...............
Serial number of it Mk7?

That's a late Mk1, not many more made after this, I only have one later serial number on my list and that's a BG serial number.

I seem to think that BH-xxxx prefixes were the last of the Enfield Mk1's

BH883 is supposed to be the last but I've not seen any of the BF, BG and BH numbers my self.
