MkII Inglis Bren Barrel Handles

[Brit plumber]

Untill recently I believed that Monotype used the Mk2 only, and Inglis the Mk1 only. However KG provided some factory photos of monotype guns with Mk1 handles. I've still to see evidence of Inglis using Mk2 handles but I'm quite sure they stuck with the mk1 type (Which would explain why there were plenty of NOS mk1 handles around a few years back).


Heres a link to Peters guide to repairing handles, there is a photo or two that shows the indian Mk1 to Mk2 handle conversion.

As an aside on this, I have a spare Mk2 grip and it is marked 'B' in the wood under the grip plate. BSA?
