You can have my Mk I/M Mk II Upgraded if you like for £200 if you cant, I'm getting rid of all my pre 1945 stuff except a SMLE and the Besas. Hi Tom, Thats a beautiful Bren and a great price. Unfortunately I've nearly completed a deal on a equally mint 1943 Lithgow MkIm being sold near where I live. I believe the receiver on yours is also an 'intermediate' between the MkI and MkIm as it has a fluted gas cylinder but no lensatic sight dovetail. I'm after a fully developed MkIm as a contrast between my dovetail Enfield MkI and my Inglis MkII. But thanks for the offer. What else do you have for sale? Cheers, Mark |

No worries, The only other Bren is a Interarms FTRed L4A3. There is Daimler Mk II but its in bits in a chest along with a lood of new wood and minty spares to do it up cosmetically when i get time.
For the obscure theres three marks of vickers Berthier, a model 1928-1929 (Mk I to some) a VAC MK II bitsa (has a Mk I butt but is pretty d**n rare) and a Indian made Mk 3B.

Cheers, Mark As far as we know Lithgow made no intermediate guns. There appear to be 2 different production lines for the Lithgow guns. One has the fluted gas escape holes and the other the D profile as found on the Mk1 (Modified) Enfield guns. |
