Bren serial numbers.

A 1942(?) Inglis MkI(m) number: 4T9181

This is painted on the top of a New Zealand type cartridge case case catcher I've just acquired. So presumably that's where the gun itself ended up at some point?

Here's mine:

Dewat....bit of a piece together, bought from Wolverine Supplies in Canada a while back. Looks like the S/N is 2L2236

1940 'M'...... The original serial number will have been M-xxxx. That's an early bird

NavyShooter:
Your serial number is no 2L at all. It is DP21. Not sure what the 2236 numbers are...they may have been added by the re-creator to try and make the numbers match with the lower. Note that your barrel nut also has the DP21 serial number electro pencilled on to it.

Some of the Cdn DPs were factory rejects and some were some were done later in the guns life. Sometimes they are found with the original serial numbers burnished off and a DP number added, other times they have the original serial and the DP marks added.

After a long wait. I have found a 1940 Enfield Mk1 Dove tail. Correct 1* barrel, extending legs bi-pod and hump back butt. Also got a MK1 Enfield magazine. Serial no=D3627. Trigger group is stencilled H8336. I think both of these numbers are mid 1940 production just before the MK1M was put into production. I am told this gun came from Austria where eight Dovetails were found 1939 and 40 dated. D/A by M.Priest June 2013.
