Just got this M1 Thompson


Recommended Posts

It's hard to say as far as finish based on photographs. I have a mint (my guess never or only very lightly used) M1 trigger frame that looks similar finish. The DuLite finish on the M1s was a flatter blacker finish than on the 28s.

 

Either way, nice gun!

Very nice weapon! In my very uneducated and aged opinion, it was definitely refinished. Mine had been. Probably would have originally had paddle style fire control levers and probably not a reinforced buttstock? Maybe even a bright bolt? R

Thanks for all the comments- I assumed it was refinished but another board person thought it might be original - I assumed at least the barrel should be blued - and perhaps a bright bolt.... either way I am happy with it- got a chance to fire it and it runs like a sexually accosted primate.....
