Nice pre-May 1928A1


Recommended Posts

It can be seen right off the bat that the lower serial number was engraved and not originally roll marked as was the upper. Font and depth should match precisely, being done with the same dies at the same time. These don't.

I just looked at the pictures and you are correct. The serial number on the trigger frame is an obvious fake.

The 4 on the receiver is closed which is correct for the original numbering dies. The 4 on the trigger frame is open - this is the 4 you get with hand stamps.

Well hold on here....you say that you've bought several guns from

the guy and that he is a good guy to deal with, and you have pointed

thousands of people to this auction and described the gun as "pretty

nice". That sounds like an endorsement to me, especially in light of

your position at the very top of the Thompson pyramid. I don't think

it's right for you to now assume the position of "yeah, OK, the trigger

frame has been faked, but it's not my problem". Since you know the

seller I think you at least have to try to have him correct the auction.

I dont think its necessary to take the post down. You took a look and thought it might be a good buy no harm or fowl.

I thought the same on a quick look. If one was interested they should do their own due diligence. If cheap enough it still could be a good buy.

Wow Frank. Tough crowd. As someone posted earlier, everyone needs to do their own do diligence before spending that amount of money. Nothing to be sorry about.
