LOT 1365
Auto-Ordnance Model 1928
Thompson Submachine Gun, “A”
Serial Range, Class III/NFA C&R Fully
Transferable Machine Gun - Serial
no. 722A, 45 ACP cal., 10 1/2 inch fluted bbl., blue finish, walnut stock.
Manufactured in the 1970s/1980s as part of the “A” suffix serial range,
the Auto-Ordnance 1928 Thompson is virtually a perfect reproduction of
the vintage Tommy Gun. One of the signature weapons of U.S. history, the
Thompson was one of the great “heavy metal” submachine guns, operating semi
or full automatic on an open bolt, fully machined with fine hardwood furniture;
the later sheet metal guns may have had them beat for cost effectiveness but not for
style. Blade front and folding ladder peep rear sight, with the signature Thompson-marked
Cutts Compensator and cooling fins on the barrel, horizontal foregrip and rear pistol grip,
and a quick-detach buttstock. The trigger group is fitted with a set of selector and safety
switches, and the receiver has the Auto-Ordnance patent info on the right and military-style
nomenclature on the left. The magazine slot is configured for drum magazines and stick
magazines. Internals follow the general 1928 pattern, with an “S” marked Blish Lock.
Included with the lot are two Type “L” 50-round drum magazines, one Type “X” 10-round
drum magazine, seven stick magazines, cleaning rod and a tan canvas transport case
CONDITION: Excellent, with 97% plus original blue finish, showing
some light scratches and handling marks. The
furniture is also excellent, with minor
scratches and dings. Some rust is
present on the magazines, and mild
staining on the case. Mechanically
excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a
National Firearms Act (NFA), fully
transferable Class 3, which is registered
with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE)
that is classified as a “Curios or Relic”
as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These
weapons are still subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
Estimate: 15,000 - 25,000
