Mike Hammer Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Drum pouch, nice condition with a few rust spots, $75-100Crosby Repro drum, what are they now about $175 I think Edited November 22, 2020 by Mike Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron_brock Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I was going to say $20 if lucky on the 1911 pouch as there was a buttload of unused 1911 pouches from WWI, but you have an eagle snap pouch. These are earlier than WWI and command a premium. I would say somewhere around $75-$100 on this. Looks pretty clean. Is there a date? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpbcps Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I bought a 'SH Ltd' produced magazine carrier , marked ‘Thompson Sub-machine gun', from a member on this forum for $200 in Nov 2018, and I have seen them sell up to $400 with the original felt in them. Sellers market I guess, for prices on them, as they don't come up that often. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMG28 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 The L-drum is a modern Taiwan repro. It has the Thompson name ground off, so it is one of the first batch of these drums. A few folks might like that, but to most it is just a repro shooter. Value probably $125-150. The Brit mag carrier is in nice shape, and the felt looks to be original. The maker, SWS LTD., is not commonly found, so I would put the value at $350-400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If original, it must be unused as it shows no sign of the magazines, which an example I have on file, does show. It is missing one piece of felt all the same, but it will be a nice addition to someone’s collection. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSMG28 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Garandcollector, Thanks for the additional pics. With the closer look, I agree with Richard that the felt looks newer, though it is well done. There is also one piece missing. That changes the value to $250-300. Still appears to be a nice box. Apologies for the error. Roger Edited November 22, 2020 by TSMG28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garandcollector Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 You guys may very well be correct on the felt. However, the interior paint, mag hangers, and the interior overall shows very little wear so leads me to think it could be original. I just wish I had a Thompson like most of you to have a reason to keep it. Appreciate the insights to everyone on these items. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
