Seen on eBay UK - Leather Spare Barrel Case?

**Flying10uk** · 01-30-2024 12:51 PM

I noticed this on eBay UK icon

and the vendor thinks that it may be a leather spare barrel case for the bren. Was there such a thing as I've not seen one before?

I've seen the leather case for the cleaning rods/kit.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I seriously doubt it's for spare barrels. Box 50 of 71...

PL would be the best source for anything like this hopefully he will inform us as to the satchels correct use if not for a bren.

Yes, I have my doubts too, but it does look similar in style to the leather case used for the cleaning rods.

That sounds about right.

I haven't ever seen one in leather but it LOOKS like a leather holdall - as used during the days of pack-saddlery. Note the spaces for all the stuff that you stuff on the webbing hioldall. Just my guess. Never been into leather. I'm more of a rubber man myself......

Whatever it is, it looks like it was never used.

If you really want to know, contact the maker and see if they have any idea:
