**COLT THOMPSON M1921A SUB-MACHINE GUN (C&R).

**COLT THOMPSON M1921A SUB-MACHINE GUN (C&R). SN 4772. Cal .45ACP. 10″ finned, uncompensated bbl. Manufactured by Colt’s Patent Firearms Mfg. Co., Hartford, CT. Rich blue finish fading in places with Lyman rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation. Internals are all 1921 parts. Firing mechanism operates smoothly when cycled by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. Includes one 50 round “L” drum marked “AUTO ORDNANCE CORP./NEW YORK/REGISTERED IN THE/U.S. PATENT OFFICE”. The right side of receiver is scribed “PEORIA, CO.” Records indicate #4772 was purchased by Peoria Co., IL Sheriff’s Dept without the Cutt’s Compensator, a cost savings of $25. Peoria Co. apparently upgraded its SWAT capabilities in 1981 as this gun was transferred out of their inventory and into private hands. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is very good. Approximately 90% blue thinning in places and with numerous scratches on both sides of receiver as well as some normal handling marks to wood. Wood is of a dark rich brown color. Bbl is shiny and bright, however, it has a slight bulge just forward of finned area, 3-1/2″ from muzzle. Buttstock has a 2″ crack on the right side which runs longitudinally. Buttplate has some significant pitting and corrosion with only about 15% of the blue remaining yet it does contain the oiler in the trap. Drum has nearly all of its blue finish intact and appears serviceable. Replacement bbls are inexpensive and readily available in kits for the Thompson and the stock crack can be repaired without issue. This is a very desirable and serviceable original Colt 1921 Thompson with police history. 4-42478 JK116 (20,000-30,000)
