The Bren machine gun was accepted for service with the British army in 1937 after its trials. The gun was part of a 2 man team, a gunner and a loader. When the Bren gun was issued, armourers were given a comprehensive and compact tool to service the gun in the field. The tool required a lot of machining and the use of stamped parts. The tool was shortly superseded by the simplified mark 2 tool. This is an original mark 1 British Bren gun tool. The body is stamped A&S 1941 (date) on the side. The tool has a bronze inlet hammer head and 4 swing out tools which are held in by retracting them into the rear, the tool is in excellent condition and works correctly.
