Does anyone have a picture of a complete kit - or know what book has one in it?
It does seem interesting - perfect addition for your overstamp! (No, it is not mine!)

This case looks completely different than the earlier case for the specially made M1903 line-throwing rifle, and the markings on it mention .45, but not the TSMG. Can't really imagine the TSMG ever being converted to line throwing (as in at-sea refueling or ship-to-ship transfers), or the .45 M1911 pistol either, as recoil is in direct proportion to the mass and speed of the projectile and (in the case of the pistol) we'd be looking at broken wrists! Also, I can find no references to government-procured blank or line-throwing .45 M1911 ammunition.
Post war, the M87 and M87 Mod 1 top-break line throwers were developed and produced by H&R and the Mod 1 is in use today. I believe that one of these is the model that PK remembers.
