Italian Breda Bren Spare Barrel Holdall

**Flying10uk** · 03-09-2023 08:39 AM

This recently came from a UK icon

Militaria dealer, an Italian icon

Breda Bren spare barrel holdall. It is only really just a copy of the UK/Canadian icon

version. There are no markings that I can see and it appears unissued.

The question is did Italy produce their own version of the wallet to go with their Italian made holdall? I haven't seen one or seen one offered for sale but that doesn't mean Italy didn't produce one.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Looks like the ones we used for our C6(MAG58)...

I acknowledge such item but in my time as a soldier never saw it. MAGs just don't seem to break or need anything more than cleaning and oil. Of course, we aren't talking hours of sustained fire. Also acknowledged spare barrels but who carries one when out on a couple of weeks' patrol in the bush.

Jim, did Canada icon

use Bren spare barrel holdalls for the C6 MAGs when they first came into service to carry the spare barrel?

The holdall pictured post 1 has all the features of the Bren spare barrel holdall including the facility to store the wooden stick for the mop and wire brush (pic 3).

No, the Bren was SO far removed by then. There was nothing left. We started fresh.
