**COLT THOMPSON MODEL 1921/28AC WITH U.S. NAVY & “8” OVERSTAMP MARKING (C&R).

SN 13727. Cal. .45 ACP. Bbl is 12-3/4″ with compensator. This Colt Thompson retains its orig buttstock without any provision for sling swivels, which also retains its Remington proof mark on the wood just below the attachment hardware. Also included in this lot is one after market 50-rnd drum which is marked on the front only “50 CARTRIDGES CAL. 45 WIND TO 9 CLICKS”. Consignor states this is a good operating drum. This Colt Thompson has the usual markings on the right side of receiver “AUTO-ORDNANCE CORPORATION. NEW YORK. U.S.A.” together with patent dates. Left side of receiver has typical Thompson sub-machine gun & Colt’s Patent Firearms Mfg. Co. markings with “U.S. NAVY” added above the model of 1921 orig marking. There has also been an “8” overstamped over the “1” in 1921. Lower assembly & upper assembly match in SN. Compensator has Cutts logo & patent dates. Internal parts are 1928 parts. Wood appears to be orig to the gun and a pleasing dark brown finish. Consignor states that this specimen was at one time in the hands of a Texas Police Department and that the blemishes in the finish on the left side are from improper rack storage. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. Drum fits properly in the receiver. CONDITION: Overall finish & appearance is extremely fine to near excellent. When viewed from the right side, the appearance is truly outstanding with a few slight scratches in the finish & some wear to the compensator as well as a couple of noticeable dings in the buttstock. When viewed from the left side, there are some significant blemishes on the upper receiver just to the rear of the drum feedway and right above the Model 1921 markings with a lesser loss of finish over the Colt address markings. There is also some pitting in these areas as well as, along the high points of the rear sight, protective channels. Wood shows some dings & light scratches from handling. Bore is shiny & bright with some frosting in the grooves and on lands. Bolt face and internals are extremely fine. Lyman rear sight also extremely fine. Drum is in near new condition with virtually all of its finish remaining. This specimen of the top quality iconic Thompson sub-machine gun would make an outstanding display piece and yet still could be taken out to the range without diminishing its value. 4-55301 (25,000-35,000) – Lot 2003
