Dean L Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 http://www.fototime.com/1AF8483184A4FCA/standard.jpgI had 1921 before with the numbers stamped but no longer have it to compare to this one.Thankshttp://www.fototime.com/756019160AED0E5/standard.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconbob Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I am guessing M1917 or P-14 due to width and what appears to be almosta 90 angle of the top strap...but it's hard to tell for sure... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean L Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) It just looked a lot like the last 1921 butt set I had in this old pic below. I thought it might be a 21 as even the numbers looked close and in the 21 range.http://www.fototime.com/0480573F66DA22A/standard.jpg Edited April 3, 2019 by Dean L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adg105200 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I would have guessed 1921/28. Did other gun makers with similar buttplates number them? Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 The TSMG and 1917 butt plates are not interchangeable unless some bending is done.So, if this butt plate fits close on your TSMG stock, then its probably for a TSMG.Whether its from a Colt or not I'll let others comment.

Rimcrew Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Purely a guess, but the given the lack of attention to detail on the rivets holding the trap door mechanism on (not ground flat/smooth), and the marks at the top that appear to be from vice jaws where the tab was bent over, I would be surprised if this was from a Colt. Everything I have seen that is of Colt manufacture is a work of art, this, not so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Chopper Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Does it have an "R" stamped on any of the metal parts? If not, not Colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk VII Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 This buttplate has the WW1 eagle's head on top near the screw hole. http://www.fototime.com/34F57D9DB327C66/medium800.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk VII Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 The Eddystone 'E' is visible at the toe. http://www.fototime.com/DBC9AA2184C2645/medium800.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean L Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 No R but no W or E either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 The screw that holds the spring for the trap door is ground flush with the exterior of the butt plate. The Colt screws have a convex head. The early Savage made 1928 and 1928A1 models also had numbered butt plates. If there is no Remington R stamped on it it is not from a Colt Thompson. At best, it is an early 1928 Model Thompson butt plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
