This is an original WW2 era, U.S Thompson M1 A1 SMG (see page 350 of ‘The Ultimate Thompson Book’ By Hill). It is a very good excellent example and its original wood stock, pistol grip and fore stock have just light bumps and bruises to be expected with age & service use. The weapon is crisply stamped 'Auto -Ordnance Corporation, Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.A.’ and 'Thompson Sub Machine Gun Caliber 45 M1 A1’. The weapon is serial number 380166 which is on the frame. The top of the frame is stamped with the Thompson trademark & ‘U.S. Property’. The Thompson has blade fore sight and A.O.C marked winged fixed peep sight. It is complete with an original Auto Ordnance marked stick magazine, sling swivels & steel butt plate with trap. Deactivated to UK/EU specification in 2025 the weapon’s trigger moves, the slide moves backwards and forwards under spring tension and the magazine can be removed. Included are 2 Inert Deactivated Rounds Of .45 ACP brass cased Ammunition. The rounds load into the magazine correctly. The price for this iconic WW2 era SMG includes deactivation certificate & UK delivery. Sn 23409
