Rock Island Results?

Somewhere in the GH Colt TSMG Serial Nos. book set is a list of 100-110 known '27s. Interestingly, the facing page has a photo of a '27 receiver left side and the serial no. of the illustrated '27 isn't included in the list. Based on the 100-110 known, I tend to agree with Arthur F. that probably about 150 '21s were converted to '27s.

 

Also, several months ago a '27 that was part of the St. Louis PD batch sale was listed on the Sturmgewehr.com NFA For Sale board at, IIRC, $47.5K. The gun was said to be all original including the semi internal parts, but the condition looked to be shooter grade or close to it (I hope I'm not offending whoever bought it - just opining on what I could tell from the pics).

 

MHO, YMMV, etc.

. I started getting into this " colt Thompson" hobby around 2004. At that time many " shooter grade " colts were out there. As the yrs have gone by, it seems as if there are less reference to a colt gun being just a shooter.

You have posted this 4 times now, and I still have not figured out why. Are you asking what that auction # brought?

 

If so, it brought $1955
