Thompson 1928A1 Receiver Markings !


Recommended Posts

Hello Gentlemen,

 

I have a question about markings/stamps on a 1928A1 Thompson receiver.Does someone of you know what these stamps are standing for ?

The gun itself is a parts kit - could they be to show deactivation of the gun ? Thank you in advance for your help.

That is an odd gun to be in a parts kit, it was deactivated to EU UK standards which means it has had 1/2 the bolt welded in to the receiver and the trigger group cut and welded up. Lots of work required to remove those parts to make it a kit.

Those are British "proof" marks for a proof house. all guns supposedly were to have proof marks to be sold in the UK.   see  them on a lot of Thompsons re-imported as police guns back in the day.
