Bren serial numbers.

Brit Plumber, I'm intrigued. Did you see the number on the barrel nut that I posted above? Do you think that is the original SN?

[Peter Laidler]

Mk3 guns only came with LB (Light Bren) prefix serial numbers. Some of the last had what were called codified numbers - but not from your era

Bren Mk II marked Inglis 1943
SN 11T7438
The last digit (the 8) is obscured due to some damage so I can't swear to the sn.

It's a registered pre May 1986 dealer sample.

With regards the lower receiver another number is stamped just above, F286 followed by the Enfield logo.

F-286 was the steel batch number

Just been going through my collection and will send more serials when finished but could anyone tell me what the small symbol (D) is for, its on a 1942 Enfield Bren and is on many of the parts, such as rear sight, bipod, cocking slide, metal bracket on butt e.t.c, Its not the Enfield E inside D just a D in brackets ?
Thanks in advance, Andy.

Doesn't ring any bells. A D in brackets? A picture would help
