captaincaveman Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, a quick search come up with no results! Would anyone know if a DP marked Bren Mk 1 (old spec deact) would be any worth significantly less than non DP? Does have matching numbers and a clear Enfield crown.

m3bobby Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 It all depends.... as a Deact you could argue that it doesn't make a sh*te of difference as a DP is effectively a non shooter just like a Deact. However some collectors would prefer non DP marked guns and definitely if you want to shoot it. There's also a time when you have no choice for a DP marked gun, the L54 for instance which is the standardized late DP gun which are quite rare and the irish contract ZGB guns which were all DPd and no known non DP examples are known to exist. Seeing as it has matching numbers and the crown, that suggests to me that it is a Double Dovetail 1940 gun and from the Irish contract. Does it have 2 rows of 2 holes drilled through the breech area (One set may be hidden inside the gun)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG08 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Can we assume this is outside the US ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincaveman Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yes I'm based in the UK! So I agree that a drill and non drill is not a major issue as I can't/won't or will shoot it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3bobby Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yep, that's one of the Irish DP guns, it's been refinished so I'm thinking it's one of the World Wide Arms guns. These Ex Irish guns are quite nice as they are mainly matching guns which is almost unheard of when it comes to the early DD variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorCheney223 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Off topic but I recognize that range in your profile picture ;-) That being said, did you shoot the Bren while you were there? V/RRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V/RRonThat was Battlefield Vegas a few years back! I would go again in a heartbeat! Didn't shoot a Bren, but did shoot Colt 1911, M1 Garand and Thompson, AK47, SVD Dragunov & Tokorev, Sten & Enfield! Spent a fortune but it was worth every penny, and my wife and son had a go too. Bren & PPSH 41 are on the to do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
