There is an outside chance that there is paperwork on the gun, but I doubt it.
What a shame; another Thompson that can't be had!

She says she is having a class 3 dealer determine if it is registered.
Then she says she will register it if it was not registered..... "I'm just a Mom selling stuff" probably will not be a good defense!
I'll add to this if I get a reply after she checks it out...

Get into her "Way Back Machine" and set the time for prior to May 19, 1986?
This woman is living dangerously!

Yes, it could be turned in to a law enforcement agency and registered on a Form 10. But what are they going to do with it? I don't know of any US law enforcement agencies that actually use surplus WWII Thompsons anymore. I know that many still have them, but I would venture to guess they are rarely used. Besides, the gun pictured was incomplete and I doubt any law enforcement agency would spend the money to put it back together and not use it. Same goes for a museum. If it is not registered it will probably be confiscated by BATF and destroyed.

If not I suggested the museum option - the economics of that would be huge - enough to add a parts kit to the donation and still be abnout $3-4K ahead!
At least she has a class 3 checking it out for her. Anybody here doing that for her

If it was never registered prior to or during the 1968 amnesty, it can't be registered. It will be confiscated. |
Someone should e-mail her and tell her to hid it until there is another amnesty.

Now she intends to get it registered to herself....
If she is selling it, but it was registered to another non-relative, how can she do this without becoming licensed herself? Can she sell it thru a class 3 and just "broker" the sale without owning it?

If she adds a fudge factor and tells me the transfer is $250, then the offer must really be around $7500 or so.
She asked if I would "beat that offer", so she is looking for bidders - email her, she may be willing to sell it to someone else. I cannot afford it now.
I have not seen it other than the first pictures she had.
Do you think it would be worth $10K - completed and refinished? That' s about what it would take. Just may be a good deal....
