This is an excellent example of one of the very late last production commercial Model 1928 Thompson submachine guns that was manufactured by the Auto-Ordnance Corporation of West Hurley, New York, circa 1980. This very desirable/rare SMG was originally manufactured in "22 Caliber" but was later factory converted back into the standard 45 ACP cartridge. This is identified by the "TF" designation in the serial number range. There were approximately 125 of these late production guns that were converted, serial number range (257TF-382TF). These were all new production weapons with new manufactured parts and assemblies, however they retained some of their earlier configuration parts such as the finned barrel, Thompson-Cutts style compensator, vertical fore grip, detachable buttstock and adjustable ladder rear sight. The left side of the receiver is marked "U.S. MODEL 1928/No.350 TF" 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 two thirty round stick magazines and one Auto-ordnance 50 round drum magazine.
