TennesseeTaylor95 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Just a heads up, I stumbled across this listing on Gunbroker last night (Item number 942710054) and figured that maybe someone here would be interested in seeing it or bidding on it for their Savage model of 1928 thompson. From what I am seeing in the photos and comparing it to what I have been reading here on the forum, it looks correct with the "S" with serifs running parallel with the grip mount slot but I could certainly be wrong as I am still a novice here so do your own research to verify that. Assuming it is genuine, it will certainly go for more than I can afford, but maybe one of you guys can go for it.

brveagle Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 I spotted it last night. I am sure it will go pretty high, especially now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeTaylor95 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Yeah, I imagine it will go for more than a few shiny pennies considering that they don't pop up for sale that much. It will be interesting to see how high it does go for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtyround Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Initially Beautiful. shape is good. Its the grain of the wood.... does the grain look good to you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeTaylor95 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 I am a complete novice so my thoughts on it don't mean much as I don't have any first hand experience holding and comparing original examples ( I just have the knowledge of reading about them in reference books), but I do like the way that it looks. The wood looks old to me and it reminds me of the walnut that my philco radio cabinets are made of. Hopefully some of the experts with knowledge and/or original examples will chime in and give us their thoughts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgvince Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 It is definitely correct in my opinion. The grain looks just like my Savage 1928 grip and the spare Savage grip I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1921A Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) I believe thats the same grip that was on eBay a couple days ago. They pulled the auction with 4 days to go. Edited August 11, 2022 by 1921A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt Chopper Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 With all due respect. When someone is genuinely interested in a 100 year old Thompson collectable, they hope to acquire it at a somewhat reasonable, but fair price, Meaning they hope it will stay "On the down low" When those who have no intention of purchasing become "The Whistle Blower" it always drives the price up beyond what I consider reasonable, and those with unlimited funds are the ones who end up with the treasures, Like I said, no disrespect, but I hope some think about this, if not, I hope I can repay the disfavor someday !!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countryboy77 Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Theres no "on the down low" with Ebay or Gunbroker. They are the 2 biggest sights and everyone is searching and sees them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeTaylor95 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Theres no "on the down low" with Ebay or Gunbroker. They are the 2 biggest sights and everyone is searching and sees them.My thoughts exactly. Anyone who genuinely thought that this listing was going to sit in the shadows for 7+ days on one of the most used and biggest, if not the biggest, firearms related auction/selling websites in the US so that he or she could sneak in and get it with little or no competition is being rather unrealistic to themselves. I also don't see how I am a whistle blower with "no intentions of purchasing" when I even put in multiple bids on this foregrip. I guess no good deed goes unpunished around here.

Gio Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Dont let a few uninformed people bother you. Most of us look for Thompson parts on these popular sites every day Some people think that the Thompson world is small and they want to steal a popular part. However ifs their part or gun they want to get top dollar for it. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazos609 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I sold one that had an enfield sling mount for $550 buy it now feature 2 years ago so i can only imagine how much it would run now I've got a Savage vertical with the British side sling mount I'd sell for $550 to someone here who needs it. I'm taking in to consideration that it solid but does have a crack, because some British guy decided to put a sling mount on the side of it 80 years ago and take it in to battle.
