The trigger group is numbered to match the receiver on the
underside, with knurled selector (“FULL/AUTO” and “SINGLE”)
and safety (“FIRE” and “SAFE”) levers. The internals are of the
1928 pattern, with the reduced spring and spring guide and
correspondingly heavier bolt assembly, with brass Blish lock and
felt padded oiler. Included with the lot is a later production black
leatherette transport case, seven total stick magazines and one
Auto-Ordnance “Type L” 50-round drum magazine.
CONDITION: Fine, with 80% of the original blue finish on the
receiver, 85% dull refinished blue on the trigger housing,
showing areas of brown and gray patina, scattered light spotting,
and mid handling marks. The wood is also fine, with some
chipping on the rear pistol grip, and mild dents, scratches and
varnish loss overall. Some of the internals have been polished,
with the wings of the Blish lock reshaped. Mechanically excellent.
Some of the magazines are
rusted, and the case is good with
mild wear. NOTE: This weapon
