Yep, Bren was having a curved magazine so is this the original MG made by Brno?

This weapon is most likely a Namboo 100 (Spelling is probably wrong) machine gun, of Japanese origin.

I can not tell which variant with out seeing the weapon, early models start out having a chyrsanthemum on them, next models have a lily on them, and the final war production has no flower mark, just manufacturer data.  Basically these weapons are good copies of the British BREN gun.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

Brady, where did you get this pic?  It is NOT a Bren.
