This Thompson has the “S” prefix SN followed by “NAC” on right side of receiver just forward of ejection port. Broad arrow proof mark above a crown and above “E7/E”. Buttstock is fitted with bottom mounted sling swivel. Internal parts are 1928 parts. Mechanisms function smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance are near excellent as refinished, a deep lustrous blue. About 96% on metal surfaces with some loss were the actuator meets top of receiver. Wood is fine with some dings, scratches and a couple small gouges but this does not detract from the fine appearance of this firearm. Bore is fine with strong rifling and lots of shine. Bolt face is extremely fine with crisp edges. Drum magazine rates about 60% of a dull, blue finish turning to patina with some mottling to finish; snaps easily into magazine well. This is a fine example of a highly desirable model in a classic configuration. 4-51763 JWK1 (18,000-22,000) – Lot 1077
