Default Excellent! Tony.

I refer to the LP1 I.D.plate which is exactly the same with reference to the nomenclature Carrier Bren No2 Mk1 lLl. etc. and of course they were manufactured by the New Zealand Railway workshops (Huttshops) in the Hutt valley Wellington.
I Have a casting copy of an original, but like all my Stuff, it is safely buried in the bowels of a shipping container.
Thanks Tony for posting all those pictures,of plates and for putting up the current picture of Bruces Bren.
Also thanks to you Richard. I doubt if there was any difference in the carriers sent from the std British Brens. Maybe they were produced as a variant fitted with mounts for a Lewis gun? Who Knows?
