i have a thing for the overstamps. so i'd have to say on that saw action, maybe pearl or somewhere like that. or how about one that was in the silent service, would that make it a sub gun?

I'm with Kevin,
21 with the detachable stock and cutts and finned barrel and capasity to take drums. a side cocking handle ( sorry guys I hate to see the damn things recyprocate, or clutter a sight picture) And a M1A1 rear sight or one that is like a M1 Carbine peep that is adjustable for elevation. I'm just too far sighted to focus on the rear noch of a 21 sight. my focal lenght starts about the middle of the cocking handles traverse.

Brian,
That's not serial #101. The rest of the numbers are obscured.

Brian,
I think that AF is just saying that this gun doesn't have a "very low serial number." If it were #101 it would tend to be more desirable than a high number; such as #10125.
Personally, I'll take ANY Colt Thompson I can get!
This is the same place had a Colt Thompson that looked like #7, it was really #7XXX.
