    Some original cased Colt Thompson SMG's

    Here's my (2) Colt Thompsons, with original accessories.
    I need to work on my photography skills.

    Thanks a lot. Now I'm drooling all over myself.
    It doesn't help that I'm reading my 5th book on Al Capone right now

    What's the story on them? Have you had them lettered? If I could afford the 20 grand plus it would cost me to buy a transferable one I would have one too! Are yours transferable or are you a class 3 dealer?

    Thanks for sharing. Those are amazing. I'd like to see more pics of them.

    Twaits,
    There both transferable, with the period case, 20 round mags and L drum they are around 35K to 40K per as depicted.
    I'm a FFL-03 C&R collector and belong to the TCA, Thompson Collector Association. Besides these (2) Colts I own
    (3) other Full AutoThompsons including a WWII M1.
    What do you mean being lettered?

    Wow is right! One of those would definitely be a Holy Grail gun for me! Welcome to the Forum!

    Twaits was referring to the Colt Historical Letters. For a fee Colt will produce a letter stating who, what and where ordered the gun. I've done a couple and the are very interesting. BTW, nice.

    Beautiful examples. Do you get to exercise them often or are they strictly safe queens? Either way they are great guns.

    Colt is very Sgt. Schultz like when acknowledging their role in the production of the first 15,000 TSMG's.
    Doug Richardson has been able to acquire Colts records on the TSMG and offers a service that tells who the
    initial buyer was for a nominal fee.
    The 21ac was purchased by a Arkansas Sheriff Dept.
    The Navy overstamp was purchased by a Wisconsin PD.
    I've contacted both departments and have aquired a period badge and patch for each.

    I have plans on shooting both Colts, to date I've gotten my Thompson fix shooting my other (3) less valuable Tommys.

    Hopealong,
    The Colt Thompsons are close to being Colts rarest of rare of guns,, but the Colt Monitor BAR is the holy grail in my opinion.
    There were only 125 of these guns ever assembled, with 90 going to the FBI.
    I'd guess that maybe a dozen or so are in collector's hands today.
