1939 Enfield Bren - a spot of help please

[Brit plumber]

Yes, A7534 would most likely be January 39. A7258 is the earliest 39 I have on record.

Isn't the "D" in a circle an early Daimler marking?

I brace myself to be corrected on this, but I think it's worth remembering that during WW2 Southern Ireland was a self governing member of the British Commonwealth. It didn't fully separate/leave the British Commonwealth until after WW2; the late 1940s I believe. During this time Southern Ireland had a similar right as any other part of the British Commonwealth to ask for help/assistance with procuring weapons for it's armed forces.

I believe it ceased to be a Dominion in 1937 and effectively became a republic then but it wasn't officially a republic until 194x (can't remember the date).
