Description
Colt Model 1921 Thompson Submachine Gun, .45 acp cal. full automatic.  Serial #2079, mfg. 1921.   Excellent condition!  Totally outstanding in all respects!  Originally purchased in 1921 by the West Virginia State Police after the 1921 "Coal Mine Wars" and kept in their arsenal until 2003.  This specimen is 98%++ with bright blue, excellent walnut buttstock, pistol grip and vertical grip. Appears to have been fully reconditioned as the butt plate and all surfaces have a very pleasing blue.  We had one of the nation's foremost full-auto experts examine this Tommy Gun and he proclaimed it "wonderful" - he was very impressed - he said it has a Colt barrel with compensator and the trigger and disconnect are Savage. 10 1/2" finned barrel with compensator.  Excellent bore.  Adjustable rear sights.  Beautifully made by Colt for Thompson in the 1920's, this "Tommy Gun" will make a great investment.  Ten (10) magazines included:  One 50-rd. drum, six 30-rd. and three 20-rd. stick mags.   FBI type black hard case in very good condition - some outside cover material chipping off.  Mentioned in "The Ultimate Thompson Book" By Tracie L. Hill. $200 transfer fee.  This is a full-automatic and subject to all NFA rules.   We are a Class III dealer and can do all of the paperwork and transfer for you.
