Great find. You might try to find out how it came into the store. I knew one American IDF Volunteer from the 7 Days War and he was from Texas.  Alot of these vets have passed on and their story us slowly being lost to time. Most of them are pretty humble and keep it under their hat so to speak. 

Welcome!

You're welcome! I appreciate the comments. I just couldn't let it become a Halloween costume or get broken up.

Very nice IDF tanker uniform, thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the WMF!

The “E inside the D” stamp is the Enfield arsenal mark.  I did research on Brens a couple of years ago when I built my parts gun. A fun project.  Mikie

I have acquired this bren and had it in my collection for a small while. I was just wondering if anyone has some more independent knowledge about it and any information about my specific one. Also rarity based on serial numbers and what not. Thanks martin

The Antique Fair runs twice a year, and they sell C&R type firearms.  However, there are no prohibitions other than what the fair management sets for private sales.  At gun shows venders sell firearms either privately, or if they are an FFL, with a background check.  The show managers only require that you follow the state laws. For example, the folks running the State Flea market don't allow the sale of firearms.  Just depends upon the people in charge.

I found this at an antique center in the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania.  I believe it dates from the mid 60's.  

Unfortunately, I think he（= oberleutnant Wentzke） wears ordinary camouflage.

Navy helmet decals also have sort of a separate layer in them, so you can see a "drop shadow" of the gold overlay.  Great helmet though!
