The model and caliber markings are present on the left side of the frame, with the Auto-Ordnance address and patent dates on the right. The trigger housing is numbered to match the receiver, with checkered selector and safety switches. The internals are 1928 pattern, with the thin, light recoil spring, Blish lock, and oiler. Included with the Thompson are two Auto-Ordnance marked 50-round Type "L" drum magazines.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 95% of the original blue finish on the barrel and small parts and 95% plus original matte black finish on the receiver and trigger housing. Mild edge wear and handling marks are visible overall, with a small amount of oxidization concentrated between the barrel flutes and some light scratches and scuffs concentrated on the right side of the receiver and trigger housing. The wood is very good, with some chipping on the foregrip and around the stock mounting iron, and mild dings and dents overall. Mechanically excellent.
