Description:

This is an excellent example of a late production Model 1928 Thompson Submachine gun manufactured by the Auto-Ordnance Corporation of West Hurley, New York, circa late 1970s early 80s. These SMGs can be easily identified by the "A" serial number suffix. These new production weapons retained many of the earlier original style parts such as the finned barrel, Thompson-Cutts style compensator, vertical foregrip, detachable buttstock and adjustable ladder rear sight. The left side of the receiver is marked "U.S. MODEL 1928/No.2268A" followed by "THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN/CALIBER .45M1". The right side is marked "AUTO-ORDNANCE CORPORATION/WEST HURLEY, NEW YORK, U.S.A." This desirable weapon has an all walnut stock, vertical foregrip and pistol grip with the later brush blued finish. This lot includes three magazines; two 30 round and one 20 round stick magazines.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 97% plus of the blue finish overall with only minor edge and high spot wear with signs of light test firing. The wood components are all in in very fine condition with no visible handling marks, with the sides of the buttstock a slightly darker color overall. NOTE: This item is restricted as a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) that is classified as a "Curios or Relic" as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These weapons are still subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
