Good idea............

[Peter Laidler]

One of the earliest pictures issued of the 'new' Bren for the British Army in 1937 shows a Bren in its chest, properly packed with the kit. What was spectacular was the fact that the front of the chest had been cut away and replaced with a sheet of perspex. Where necessary, the internal wooden chocks etc. had been screwed to the perspex. It looked pretty impressive. So impressive in fact that I re-created a latter day version of it at Warminster to display a crated Bren.

Seems like a good way of keeping the gun crated and on display too. Mind you, only a good (?) idea if you've got a Bren chest and they seem to be creeping up in price too!

Does it warrant a thread photo when I can get around to it?
