Merry Ploughboy Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Congratulations. Enjoy many happy and safe times with your Colt Thompson! And to paraphrase the Patek Phillipe tag line, we never really own a Colt Thompson; we only take care of it for the next generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt21a Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 John did that ever grace Kent Lomonts tables. Only reason i ask about 15 years ago Kent offered me a pre 86 navy. I never took the number down but it was in 7000 range.Since at the time i sold Kent my Illinois State Police #6349 cased set. And he was returning the favor offering me a less cost one. or is this another Navy 7000 range. anyhow you do know a sample is a rare one.And it looks like nice cond. i have seen another years ago pitted and over blued and another was parked up. totally destroyed it for me just looking at it. and yes "GOTCOLTCOOL" would have a nice ring to it.Congrats on the gun RONK.

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Colt #7056 is in the possession of the Government of Guatemala before the June 1954 coup. DR has it coming back to USA before the 1968 amnesty by importer ARMEX of Sacramento. John reports it came back to USA in 1981, Below is a 1981 photo of Guatemalan Labor Party guerrillas with a couple of stockless TSMG M1s. There is a report that the Guatemalan army had 233 TSMGs in their arsenal. No info of what versions of TSMGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
