I was reading through The gun that made the 20's roar last night. He mentioned pg 212 that we supplied Chiang Kai-shek's troops with thompsons and they later were captured by the commies. Maybe thats where the China museum pieces in last weeks post came from.
He also mentioned that the MGC thompson toys were originally selling for $50 page 211-212.
Just tidbits from the book that caught my eye.
