Seen on eBay UK - Leather Spare Barrel Case?
I noticed this on eBay UK
and the vendor thinks that it may be a leather spare barrel case for the bren. Was there such a thing as I've not seen one before?
I've seen the leather case for the cleaning rods/kit.

Yes, I have my doubts too, but it does look similar in style to the leather case used for the cleaning rods.

That sounds about right.

I haven't ever seen one in leather but it LOOKS like a leather holdall - as used during the days of pack-saddlery. Note the spaces for all the stuff that you stuff on the webbing hioldall. Just my guess. Never been into leather. I'm more of a rubber man myself......

Whatever it is, it looks like it was never used.
If you really want to know, contact the maker and see if they have any idea:
