Lithgow MK1 Bren (D.P.)

[Flying10uk]

Here are some pictures of my Australian Lithgow (M.A.- Munitions Australia) Bren, U.K. deactivated, which I've owned for about a year or so. Although it was sold to me as a Mk2 the dealer did point out that a lot of the parts are MK1 and it is mainly all MK1 apart from the barrel and bipod which looks like a hybrid affair. Peter has already confirmed that Lithgow didn't make MK2 Brens which explains why the body is marked as MK1. The bipod looks like a combination of a "standard" MK1 or MK2 bipod grafted to the feet of the British wartime economy/spindly version. Is this a normal Australian mod. or a 1 off??? Any additional information is greatly received, thanks. Enjoy the pictures.
