Hi Mark, its a leather spare ammunition bag carried in Bren Gun Carriers.

That was quick, thanks very much Rob!

Over the years I've managed to find a full contingent of 8 of those bags for my carrier. Without exception, every one had to go to a saddler lady I know for some repair or other. Also they appear to be made from the hide of Cow and Hog and can be smooth or rippled. There is usually a Carrier 'TL' part number stamped somewhere, often on the carry handle. I think they are shaped for Bren Gun magazines. Ron

Thanks for that Ron, nice to see how they were fitted. This one has TL14076 and EB Ltd 1945 stamped on the leather front of the main compartment. At the risk of seeming ungrateful, and I'm really not! It's in better condition than most of yours. Any idea what sort of price I should ask? I don't use it and it should be used or re-united with a vehicle I think. Thanks again,
REgards, Mark

I honestly can't remember what I paid for any of mine? Some where found at boot sales by friends who frequent such places and others from militaria fares and other collectors. Any price I suggest might seem biased. They are specific to Universal Carriers and the late date might limit the market. Let me know if you think of a price or an Ebay link. Ron

Thanks for that Ron, I will do that.

Over the past 4 years I have bought and sold around a dozen of these while sorting a full set for my Carrier. Never paid more then £40 for a good one, as little as £25 for one needing repairs. As Ron says they have a limited market.

Thanks Mike, very helpful.
