Scott Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Filed a FOIA request on the 1928 I received earlier this year, and see something interesting. Assumed it was a old DOD or police department release. From the redacted form from 1968 it says the owner acquired it in 1942!. It has a inventory number on the stock so I'm assuming it walked off from a PD or defense plant or such. Any other ideas? Have added a pic of the number and a scan of the 1968 amnesty paper. Have posted the gun in a previous post titled GEG stamp on my 1928. Also looks like the original owner had it for a long time the next transfer isn't until 1994.1928 FOIA.pdf Edited July 12, 2019 by Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartlow Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 The Amnesty form is dated June 1969, well after the Amnesty. ATTD let people who were outside of the USA on government orders submit forms late. Typically these were U.S. diplomats, soldiers and intelligence people. So my guess would be that the owner was a "special" government employee of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67ray Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Why the redaction on the form for field 8.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Only a guess but it probably said "Thompson Sub Machine Gun" and the non gun person doing the redaction did it because is was a persons name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
