reconbob Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I am taking a shot in the dark here - I had an FN D BAR with very similar markingswhich was said to be "Armie Luxembourg" - it had the AL and three numbers. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohawk64 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 So? These Thompson's we're overhauled in Luxemburg? At some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annihilator Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 No 1928 Thompsons in Luxembourg. Luxembourg army only used the M1A1 and those were not marked AL eitherAnd no overhaul facilities in LuxembourgOnly FN ordered guns were marked AL like the SAFN FAL and FN Highpower FND machine gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 What is the meaning of the mark? Having 2 show up is a little unusual. Could it have been a pd mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohawk64 Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 This gun has "GEG" stamp. AL 464 and "TOMMY GUN". No other inspection stamps. Was this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Iannamico Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I have one marked exactly like that (pre-May sample imported by interarms).Those Thompsons were for foreign contracts, so no US inspector marks. Savage made Thompsons all have the GEG (George Goll) inspection stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Exactly what I thought. What year did interarms start? This gun has pd markings,so I wonder about yr of import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 It. Has a 250,000 serial number range. It has a vertical foregrip with no sling swivel. A buttstock with a modified sling swivel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Exactly what I thought. What year did interarms start? This gun has pd markings,so I wonder about yr of import.Jim, Interarms imported a lot of firearms in the 1950's and 1960's. Many went to police agencies.

JJX Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 This one has RLB and the ordnance bomb as well as GEG. Is that because it was lend lease? Note the serial number is lower. It also has the Interarms import markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohawk64 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Would you be able to send pics of the vertical forend? Mine looks old. But not the same as a Colt. We're they a little different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
