**COLT MODEL 1921A THOMPSON MARKED FOR ATLANTIC CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT (C & R).

**COLT MODEL 1921A THOMPSON MARKED FOR ATLANTIC CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT (C & R). SN 5799. Cal. 45 ACP, 10.5″ bbl length. This is one really nice Colt Model 1921A with a vertical forend which includes 1 orig 20 rnd magazine with August 24, 1920 patent date and also one parkerized finished 50 rnd drum in its cardboard sleeve, marked “AUTO-ORDNANCE CORP NEW YORK, N.Y.C. PATENTED JULY 27, 1920 DEC. 7, 1920”. Also included are three 30 rnd stick magazines & an orig brass cleaning rod. One 30 rnd magazine is marked “SW CO.” Another is a Seymour magazine, the third is in its orig wax wrapper, which was not removed to check on maker. This gun has orig 1921 internal parts. Oiler is within buttstock. This gun is marked on the right side of the buttstock & on the handgrip “ACPD IV”, for Atlantic City Police Department. The firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: The estate of a Private Collector. CONDITION: Overall finish & appearance is extremely fine to excellent with 95% deep lustrous blue on all metal surfaces with the loss being on the ridges of the lower assembly and to the rear of the handgrip. There is also some loss of finish where the hardware of the buttstock slides on the receiver, and where the cocking handle touches the top of the receiver. There is also loss of finish on the high points of the buttplate and the finish is thinning on the flat of it. The condition of the wood is really excellent with very few handling marks with the only blemish being three 1/8″ indentations and a tiny chip 1/16″ at the top of the stock comb. This does not detract in any way from the appearance from the right or the left as it cannot be seen. The bore is shiny & bright with some frosting in the grooves. Bolt face is excellent. The 20 rnd magazine is in excellent condition with nearly all of the orig lustrous finish remaining. The other stick mags are just as nice. The drum magazine also retains nearly all of its smooth, dark finish. With the accompanying accessories this would make an outstanding addition to any machine gun collection or as an investment for the discerning collector. 4-49200 JWK37 (25,000-35,000)
