Bren Tripod Paint Color

[Josafoot]

Do you know who the manufacturer is?

I do not. I picked it up in an antique store for $60 and they were going to refinish it but only got as far as to remove the rust/paint from the traverse bar.

Looking at the sections they did not get to (hard to access or screw heads in the way), it appears to be a dark brown color. This color seems to be similar to older blued muskets or browned muskets so I thought it may have been browned or poorly maintained bluing.

The official colour in the refinishing instructions for the Army was Deep Bronze Green either hard bake enamel or gloss standard vehicle paint. The azimuth scale was left a phosphated grey.

Deep Bronze green for the legs and grey for the traverse bar/azimuth scale? Not green on the bar/scale correct?
