**SUPERB COLT 1921AC THOMPSON SUB-MACHINE GUN (C&R).

**SUPERB COLT 1921AC THOMPSON SUB-MACHINE GUN (C&R). SN 8990. Cal. 45 ACP, 13″ bbl. This Colt 1921 Thompson has an unmarked Cutts compensator. Internal parts are 1921. This is an extremely attractive and high condition Colt 1921AC with a vertical forend which includes 1 orig 20 rnd magazine with August 24, 1920 patent date and also one 50 rnd drum marked “AUTO-ORDNANCE CORP NEW YORK REGISTERED IN THE U.S. PATENT OFFICE”. Also included are one 30 rnd magazine & an orig brass cleaning rod. The 30 rnd magazine was made by Seymour. Oiler is within buttstock. 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 excellent with 97% deep lustrous blue on all metal surfaces getting a little thin at the high points with some loss where the buttstock iron meets the receiver. There is very slight loss of finish 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 excellent with very few handling marks and 1 or 2 small dings. There is a small 1/8″ chip out of the left top ridge line of the foregrip. The handgrip also has a tiny 1/16″ indentation just below where the third finger rests. This does not detract from the overall handsome appearance of this gun. The bore is shiny & bright with only very slight frosting in the grooves. Bolt face is extremely fine with some frosting along the edges and in the recessed areas. The 20 rnd magazine is in good condition with about 40% finish turning to a pleasing gray patina. The 30 rnd magazine has about 90% of its deep lustrous finish with grease remaining in the recessed areas. The drum appears new in what appears to be its orig plastic bag and cardboard sleeve. This is an extremely attractive Thompson in the most classic and recognizable configuration. No doubt some fortunate collector will be very pleased. 4-49204 JWK40 (25,000-35,000)
