Atlanta GA, Thompson Sub - Machine Guns


Recommended Posts

In 1973 the city of Alanta GA offered 18 Thompsons for sale. I was lucky to have owned one of the Colts. Years later I was lucky to find a copy the August issue of the magazine " Guns ". On page 55 there is an advertisement ran by the city of Atlanta for the guns that were being offered for sealed bid. I sold the Thompson years ago. While going through some old paperwork I found the magazine. I know some board members own some of these guns. If you have one of the APD guns and would like the magazine I would be happy to pass it to you. PM me with your mailing information and I will get it to you.

Melvin,

PM sent. I "have" one. I think it is listed in the sales brochure. SN A0152547x.

Sold it on the forum here several years ago to Andy Wright. He is now selling it back to me. Currently in the time out box. This link will show you the gun and SN.

I'm interested in the magazine if it is still available.

Cheers,

Steve

Chuck have the magazine safely in hand, thank you so much. Right now on a generator. Power out coming up on 3 days. King George, VA got hit hard by the storm. Trees and limbs down everywhere. Looks like a hard artillery barrage.

Thanks again,

Steve

Hi All,

 

Great to see the "For Sale" sign for those guns. I've one I call "Ugly Tommy". Marked "A.P.D. #1" on the LHS of the receiver. Not a good looking Thompson but I really enjoy it!
