CONDITION: Overall finish & appearance is absolutely outstanding. Deep lustrous orig blued finish with the slightest loss where cocking handle touches the receiver. There is also some slight loss of finish on the hardware of the buttstock where it slides onto the receiver. There is also loss of finish on the high points of the buttplate and the finish is only slightly thinning on the flat of it. The condition of the wood is fantastic with only the slightest of handling marks. The bore is excellent, shiny & bright. Bolt face is excellent. The 20 rnd magazine is in excellent condition with 95% of its deep lustrous finish remaining. The other stick mag is just as nice. The drum magazine also retains about 90% of its orig finish, thinning in places with some spots of corrosion. This is without a doubt the finest example of a Navy over stamp Thompson this cataloger has ever seen. 4-49207 JWK41 (25,000-35,000)
