    WW2 Bren chest CES and markings / labels

    I have a Inglis Mk2 to house - can anybody share details and photos of the Britishicon and Canadianicon CES, markings and paint for compare and contrast? I have one chest to refinish and equip and another that needs more substantial restoration.

    Many thanks in advance!

    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.

    The Canadianicon chest that I have has an interior that is unpainted, if memory serves me correctly (I haven't looked at it recently). As far as I am aware this is the only difference to a Britishicon chest, apart from variations in markings.
