    Very sadly this now means that I shall probably start looking at the bases of fired .303in and 7.62mm cases to see if they had the good fortune to give their all in a Bren.

    Hi Mark, Without seeing the case I obviously cannot give a Definitive Answer.
    But from what you discribe, it certainly sounds like the extractor claw marking the case. With regards adding to your L4 collection. The GREEN canvas SPW & Spare Barrel bags are readily available, & also the contents that go within. Good Hunting!
    Kind Regards: Mike
