It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

Re: My small Collection
Yes, its a 1942 Inglis Bren II made in Canada, De-Act unfortunately, but they wont let us keep live LMGs in the loft in the UK! Since these photos I've got my Thompson M1A1 back as well as that one normally sits in the empty space in front of the Bren.

Re: My small Collection
Nice stuff matey, welcome to the circus
The Bren is a beauty, looks to be in great order, I have a Mk1 in very similar condition.

Re: My small Collection
Good collection you have. I have a fair amount of British items and I notice you have a Wolseley pith helmet, some side caps and a number of tunics and BD blouses and I'd love to see some individual pictures of any and all of them when and if you can post them.
Regards,
Jerry
Whatever
its just an opinion.

Re: My small Collection
Thanks for all the comments. Its drill night tonight, but I have tomorrow off work so if I can get half an hour when I'm not looking after little 'un I'll get up in the loft and start taking a few detail photos!

Re: My small Collection
A clearer photo of the Royal Navy Commander's jacket. The cream rings denote the Paymaster branch. There is a matching waistcoat with this uniform as well. I bought this one very cheap (£13), but it was rather bedraggled. I have patched up the moth holes as neatly as I can and I think it looks pretty good now. There were only about 150 men of this rank in the branch at the start of WW2 so its a pretty rare uniform. Going on the medal ribbons we have surmised that the officer served in WW1, retired and was called back up for home service in WW2.

Re: My small Collection
Very nice. Its great to see some naval items, which are so often overlooked.
