Submitted for competition with the British Army in the 1930's the Czech ZB vz.26 light machine gun was accepted over the American BAR, Danish Madsen, and other contemporaries, and underwent a series of alterations resulting in the BREN gun. This example was manufactured in 1941, and later registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a "Sales Sample". Blade front and 200-2000 yard rear peep sights, both offset to the left to clear the top-loaded magazine, with "Mk I./D/1941" on the left side of the receiver, an electro-penciled Canadian "Broad Arrow C" on the barrel release latch, and "A S R" markings for the selector, indicating Automatic, Safe, and Repeat (semi-automatic). Smooth pistol grip stock, with a steel capped wooden buttstock. Included with the machine gun are two extra barrels, three extra magazines, and a folding tripod with traverse and elevation mechanism.
