Manufactured 1980-1981, this is a variant of the Thompson 1928A1 Submachine Gun scaled down and adapted to run on the 22 Long Rifle cartridge. The core operating mechanism is open bolt blowback, just like the classic model, though many major components are made with aluminum instead of steel to keep the weight down. In handling and appearance it is a faithful re-imagining, with a fixed blade front sight on the Cutts-style compensator, fluted barrel, and a peep rear sight concealed by the protective wings. Markings are traditional in layout, with appropriate changes for model and caliber. Fitted with a grooved horizontal forearm, pistol grip and a quick detach stock. A magazine well adapter block fits into the drum rails, with one compatible stick magazine provided. A matching hand-numbered shipping box is also included. Provenance: The Al Walker Collection

Excellent, with 97% plus black anodized finish, showing some light wear and handling marks overall. The magazine catch has been altered to better fit the magazine adapter block, and shows some touch-ups to its finish. The wood is very good, with some mild dents and chipping. The feed lips of the magazine have been reshaped, otherwise mechanically excellent.
