Sig Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Noted the same "prototype" C drum at I believe Lomont's table asking $10k or offer with a note it will be sold at this creek. Met Greg Fox again swapping some information. Dennis Todd's table had two very nice Colt's a 1921AC for $27.5k AND a US Navy for $25k, nice GULP. At another table a couple of refinished Colt's the same ones that have been there for the last two visits at least for $17K each one a 1921AC and one a 1921/28 overstamp. Galatti had his same usual fair of Colt items, as well as IMA with his 1927 Colt lower and a few other Colt items. My focus was Colt Thompson guns and parts so sorry I did not make note of the multitude of non-Colt stuff. Too tired to get into any more detail right now, there were a couple other Colt TSMG's there one sold and another for sale but I am not going to dig the notes out right now.

full auto 45 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Saw one Colt that looked like the guy drug it to the show and it was sold for $18.5 he said. No bluing what so ever, wood was very poor and not original. The colors on the wood didn't even match. And had pitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Mike, I guess the sad part is that even at gun shows, a shitty conditioned Colt under $20K still looks appealing to some when confronted with paying $27K for a nice example. Maybe if more collectors, who have 20+ prime conditioned TSMGs' decorating their safes, would be obliged to sell a bunch and increase circulation, the public wouldn't be faced with such slim pickings.

leid Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Sig, Sorry I missed you. I was there all 3 days. It looks like IMA is running low on the 1928 parts kits. The quality is slipping, but is still excellent- like new if you hand select. Hand selecting was actually encouraged by the owner. Northridge had NIW 30 rd TSMG mags for $15-30 each depending on quantity. Dennis Todd bought an armload full. There were a lot of MP40 mags for $25-45 each, even the harder to get manufacturers. I found 3 ayf 41s to match my gun, one is even a smooth side. One Navy 28 actuator was for sale. Carey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
