Hello All,

New to the forums here.

I recently picked up a Bren Tripod.

I am looking for any info regarding the tripod; whether it be history, operation tricks or fun facts.

One notable issue is that someone sanded down the rear portion of the Tripod. It is mostly down to bare metal and the angle markings are mostly intact. I am wondering what color to paint/treat this part of the tripod to make it look original.

Most pictures I have seen show that the tripod legs are a OD while the rear section is a dark brown color. Perhaps it is not painted, rather it is browned?

I was also wondering if I should attempt to paint the numeric and hash marking white?

Thanks!
