klocker Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I am looking to buy a M1928A1 with serial 19xxxx. Looking at the pic, there are markings on the receiver, D "arrow" D. Are those british markings? I was not able to find an explanation when googling it. I must say that I haven't had the gun in my hands yet, so I cannot tell if there is a "tommy gun" marked on the receiver. Note, ETO sale, all legit, I masked the SN for privacy purpose.

klocker Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 If they are british, I was expecting more something like "W arrow D" markings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk VII Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Skennerton gives a little information in his S.A.I.S. No.17 pamphlet (and underappreciated resource) and says the remaining ones were given to the Cambodian military in the 1970s as military aid.

pitfighter Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I had a S&W Victory marked "D/|\D" It is an Australian property marking as noted above.(It is also marked US Property on top strap, of course, lol) Edited April 17, 2021 by pitfighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc O Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Klocker... your D /|\ D marked Savage S-19XXX... I wager you will find the upper receiver marked ‘TOMMY GUN’. Some pics will be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimcrew Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Does the S/N on the lower match the upper? If so, I believe the mag release lever, safety and selector have been changed out. IIRC the mag release should not have a hole, and the safely and selector should be coined. Not a big deal, but it will affect the value as these are very hard to find, again, assuming I am correct - maybe a RKI can confirm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
