Odd Flea Market Find - Bren Mag Crate

[Killer Kanuck]

Saw this at a flea market today and figured what the hell. The screws holding the lid on are gone, but otherwise seems pretty solid. Just wondering - how common/rare are these 100rd Bren mag crates? Any idea what something like this is worth?

I have one. A friend picked it up at a gun show and gave it to me. The dealer had it filled with bayonets

Now the magazines are quite a different story! I only have ONE with the winder and adapter to fit on the gun. Never used it. But then I don't have to worry about shooting at Heinkels or Messerschmidts.

Also have the tripod with the AA legs.

You lucky $%#%#&. I've been looking for 100 round drum & case for YEARS with out any luck.

This one may but up for sale/trade if I can figure out what it's worth. If I had a Bren, or even thought I'd be able to own one someday, I'd keep it, but that doesn't look like a possibility.

I have a couple, I picked one chest up for $30 and one for $5. The boxes are way more common than the mags (I only have one of those). Yours is nice in that it has the dividers in it. Usually those are gone. Collectors source had one a while back, I think it was in the $40 to $60 range.

Nice find! I'll mention this to my dad, incase he's interested. Shame it isn't full though.

I have watched two in the last six months on fleabay and think they went for around $70 or so, and they both had the dividers if I remember correctly.
