I've been chasing Bren Tens for a lot of years and I picked up an API marked Bren this week. That finishes of my collection of all the cataloged Bren Tens except for the Jeff Cooper Commemorative and I have never even seen a photo of one except Colonel Cooper's.

This was the first time I have ever had them all out so I decided to snap a photo.
I had a Bren that had a special serial number it was RAL 111082 if you see it any info would be appreciated
 
This thread has gotten way more attention than I anticipated. Here is a closeup of one of the Dual Master Brens that are in the display cases to the top. They came from the factory with a 10mm and a 45 ACP upper fitted to the same frame. They had a higher gloss bluing than the standard models and the frame flats were also more polished.
Beemer are you interested another Bren ten
 
Great collection. I do not believe I have seen that many different models in one place in years.
I am new to this forum but would like to know more of your collection. I worked at D&D and am about to put up my collection which you might be interested in.
 
i don't recall seeing this older thread before but i just wanted to say that i had a special forces light model with 3 magazines. sold it years ago for a little more than 1k and i still kick myself when i think about it!

your collection is excellent, i envy you!

The Bren Ten market is so limited in numbers that prices are all over the place. There are only about 1500pieces in the total production run unlike a Python where there are 600K.

If you are looking for a price for insurance purposes, use $6000 if it is in very good condition.

If you are looking to sell it, list it on line at a price you are confortable with and see what interest there is.

Thank you! I'm new to this, are there particular online sites that are better or worse? I've heard of the G.B. one. I really appreciate your expertise and help.

If you are serious about moving the pistol, give Frankie at Keystone Arms a call and discuss it with him.

Keystone has the most experience in selling Brens and gets top prices. Good luck.

Well. what about magazines? Any mods of other magazines or any other hacks? Can CZ mags be modified?

Thanks
As far as I know, there are no magazines available that can be easily modified to work in the Bren Tens.

Bren magazines come up for sale fairly often but are expensive. Some work well, some do not.
 
Very nice collection. I have two (acquired after father passing) and trying to find out more about them. Incredible all the paper work that was saved during the purchase including letters to and from the company about not receiving the firearms due to lack of magazines.

That paperwork has to be quite the information and legacy trove.
Good on your Pop for having the sense to keep it with the pistols.
Comes an opportunity - some photos would be cool.
 
A friend of mine is selling his Bren Ten Special Forces Light model. He placed it with Morphy Auctions for their September 10, 2024 firearms auction. I can't wait to see what it brings in today's market. He paid almost nothing for it back in the 90s. That is a beautiful collection Beemer, please tell me that you have a TON of insurance on it!

Hi Beemer, I thought you'd like to know that an SF Light is going up for auction on September 10 at Morphy Auctions.
