**INGLIS BREN MARK I MACHINE GUN MADE IN 1942 (C&R).

SN 2T3225. 303 British. 25″ bbl. Although papered with BATF as Mark II this Bren gun is clearly marked on right side of receiver “INGLIS 1942” and “BREN MK I M”. Receiver is also marked on left side with broad arrow and British proof marks and again with “42” date. Bbl latch SN and receiver SN match. Bbl SN 8064 does not match. Bipod is present and legs deploy properly. Gas port and gas port nut extremely clean. Carrying handle wood is a light and extremely attractive color compared to buttstock which is a much darker color. Includes two 20 round magazines. Mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This gun appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is fine with over 80% orig blue finish on receiver and lower assembly with a higher percentage of orig finish on bbl. Bbl forward of exhaust port displays a gray finish as is proper. Receiver has some scuffs and scratches and wearing to a gray patina in places particularly on bolt release latch. Hand grip has some significant gouges on left side with a 1/2″ chip out of base at 1 o’clock position. Buttstock has an old crack which runs from rear of receiver 4″ diagonally across buttstock that has been expertly repaired by gluing 2 wedges horizontally through crack. Also a small 1/2″ chip out of wood where buttstock meets receiver. Buttstock has some other nicks, dings and handling marks. None of these wood issues affect serviceability of this arm, which still handles very solidly. Bore is shiny with some frosting in grooves. Bolt face is extremely fine with crisp lines. This is a fine example of a British issued Bren gun and a great find for the WWII machine gun collector. 4-51788 JWK57 (24,000-29,000) – Lot 1036
