Description:

Issued by "The American Historical Foundation," this Thompson was produced to honor all of our Vietnam veterans. It features a blued ribbed barrel with gold plating on the muzzle compensator/front sight, cocking handle, trigger, and rear sight with a blued receiver that is gold filled and marked on the right side with "VIETNAM * WAR * COMMEMORATIVE * THOMPSON" / "OURS WAS IN TRUTH A NOBLE CAUSE" and on the left side "ISSUED BY THE / AMERICAN HISTORICAL FOUNDATION / RICHMOND, VIRGINIA" followed by two line address and patent dates all highlighted in gold. This "Tommy" gun sports a stick magazine and has a very nice walnut buttstock and horizontal forearm with commemorative medallions on both the pistol grip and the buttstock. This gun also comes with a leather sling and is encased in a hardwood case with glass lid, that has both a green velvet liner and a commemorative plaque.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The rifle retains approximately 99% plus original finish with some very minor marks throughout, most noticeably on the magazine. There is a small amount of rust on the left side of the receiver near the patent dates. The wood is excellent with some minor scuffs and handling marks overall. The case is excellent.
