Stolen Model of 1921 Thompson - Serial Number 11320


Recommended Posts

I have been looking for information on this Thompson and finally today this TSMG thread showed up in my search.

So naturally I have questions:

What information does the serial #11320 give?

The post-production stamp of "U.S. Navy" has thrown me. I see from other threads that it seems the 1921 was altered in to a "Navy" model and the final 1 was over stamped with an 8 making it 1928. Trying to figure all this out.

 

Lincoln County has been my home for generations and I knew and voted for Sheriff Tom Sullivan. I visited the exhibit once and and was struck at how insecure it was. It was in a back room in a plexiglass box. the building was built in the 1870s. I talked to a friend who worked there and he too was alarmed at the lack of security. It was only a matter of time before it would be stolen.

This is a sad story.

Here is a news article from the Lincoln County news about the death of Chief Deputy Tom Wade which was caused #11320 to be purchased for the SO.
