did you buy any...?
Yes.... but only the rear ones.......and they are in excellent conditions...... with clear markings....could not resist two more dated 1940......some 40-42 left in the lot.......
Asked one of the PA guy I know.... if they had more at the back or at the warerhouse.... No we can't tell form Ottawa....he says.... but everytime we run out ....the computer reorders as long as it is still stocked in WPG....... makes you wonder how many they had to supply and resupply across Canada.... Boob PS....Jordan can I have two more shoulder straps added to my Acton stash?

Re: Bren Gun or Utility Pouches (aka-Bren Gun Bras)
Hi All! Pleased to meet you.
Princess Auto (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) has a bunch of them too. I bought 2 of them for myself, thinking that they were the Basic Pouches  ; and 1 of my fellow re-enactors bought 4 of them for himself. The last I checked they had 5 of them left in stock (4-1940 & 1-1941). Initially they had 11 in stock. Unfortunately, just the Rears are available.  Does Princess Auto have the Fronts with the waist strap at their Head Warehouse in Winnipeg, MB? Same applies for the Yokes? I'm looking for 2 of each to exactly match what I have (see below). Kevin (and those who are interested), have a look at my first few postings describing what I had bought (condition, Marker & Date Marks, etc.). I also describe the 3 ways in which the set, Bren Gun Bra, was worn. It's listed under the following threads: -General WW2 Topics -WW2 Military History & Equipment -Pattern '37 Bren Mag Pouches Jordan & Kevin (and for the others), here is the scoup of my 2 Rear Utility Pouches: -new, factory-unissued, mint condition, with no stains or fading -all brass hardware, with no corrosion or oxidization -tan in color -C-Broadarrow marked, clear and crisp with no smears -both 1940 War Dated, same manner as above -both Maker marked: Z.L.&T.Ltd., same manner as above -inked stamped "REAR" on center of back, same manner as above Note: I took the best of the lot with the same War Date; & I was the first to go through them. Princess Auto (Halifax, N.S., Canada) info on them: -p/n: 8305302 -$9.99 each + 13% HST (My total cost for the pair after taxes: $22.58.) -plus shipping for those outside my area I also have one main question to ask. Does the Waist Strap ever come separately? If so, I may only need the yoke and waist strap-1 of each. Is this possible to be rigged this way? However, to be proper rigged up, I'll need 2 yokes straps and 2 front pouches exactly matching my rear pouches (see above). Kevin & Jordan, let me know what you can find. I'm definately interested. You can also email me at work (Keyan.Noble@flyjazz.ca) and/or home (keyannoble@hotmail.com) if you like. I hope the information I've given helps everyone interested. Mr. Moderator, cuttos to you and your crew for this forum. It's most informative and helpful. Keep up the good work!  Thanks for everyones help! Rgs... Pte. Keyan Noble Rifleman, Dutch resistance Fighter & Unit Weapons NCO Maritimes World War 2 Re-Enactment Unit  P.S.-For those of you who are interested, my re-enactment group is listed on Kijiji and Facebook if you wanted to look us up.

Princess Auto only has the "rears" at $9.00 ? & taxes
Surplus Herbys has the "fronts". I was there today & they have 8 "fronts" that are used , but in good cond. If anyone wants them, I can get them for $2.99 plus PST & GST & shipping. There is a Surplus H in Kamloops, but I won't get up there for 2 more weeks.

Let Us Call These What They Are
These pouches are called Utility Pouches, they are NOT Bren Pouches NOR are they a 'Bren Gun Bra'. They are called Utility Pouches because they were designed to carrying a variety of SAA, Grenades, Magazines and even a Water Bottle. There is NO need to go and make up a name for these pouches, they ARE Utility Pouches.
The pouches consist of a Front and a Rear with a Yoke.   The Utility Pouches were designed to carry any of these items.

Re: Utility (Bren Gun) Pouches (aka-Bren Gun Bra)
Good Afternoon All!
Please go to the following thread listed below to view my reply to Ed Storey's posting on the naming of these pouches. I don't know how to do one posting for two different threads. Here's the thread: -General WW2 Topics -WW2 Military History & Equipment -pattern '37 Bren Mag Pouches. Rgs... Keyan
