Cut away L9A1

[mrclark303]

Amazing how you wish you had kept things after they had gone and the prices went through the roof.
I owned one the first Brens "skeletonised" for the 1938 Crystal Palace Exhibition which Peter L and I have spoken about in the dim distant past, where only 3 were ever done, and one of the three is at Warminster on display. I also had at the same time a "Skeletonised" L1A1. Both were fully open to view and really good jobs on both, done by whoever, probably apprentices at their respective times.
I sold them together with a load of other De-Ac kit for silly money just to get rid of them at the time..........................how sometimes you wish you had kept stuff. Where is that Crystal ball when you want one??

Here's the Bren, it passed my way after it left Gil, wonderful piece, but too much for me.... The L1 stayed with me as the pride of my non FAC collection...

Neither of us knew this until a few months back!
