Here's a new piece of info relating to serial numbers from Canada. This can put an exact manufacturing.inspection date to an exact gun.

We know that Inglis Mk1m Bren, serial number 4T9762 was inspected by the UK and Canada inspection board on February 6th 1943. This was done for the Small Arms Division for shipment to England for a specific trial.

This bit of info might help identify exactly when a particular batch of guns were produced.
