The owner of Colt #206 is for sale by owner including a Bridgeport L drum and patent date 20 rd. box mag. The gun seems super clean and original except for maybe the wood. Super Clean! The owner thinks it retains the orignial finish. I do not have my hand in the deal at all...owner can be contacted directly to negotiate a deal. He has advertised it on my website in my new "for sale by owner" area. Pics and contact information is on my website at:
TommyGunner.com/206
The seller is responsible for all information in the listing and all aspects of the transaction.
Just so you know...I did not come up with the figure.
I can answer some general questions but details should go to the seller.

however if original it could bring $30,000.00 in todays wack-job market for this stuff...
i know of another that was done a two digit number...and i think the current owner would want $50,000.00 for it...
pretty crazy when we have to pay that kind of dough for restored project's{ not me}
i am sure whomever plunk's down his money will do a good research on it...as of today paying $20,000.00 more for something that might not be right.check the ejector....wink!! and what no spare part's box???he-he!!
i wish the happy seller luck...and the new future owner.many sleepless night's always wondering....is it really or is it not??or is it?????
in the wor'ds of the "dirty harry' bank robber....i just got's to know??
take care,ron

Of course there is a record of what this exact TSMG looked like when it was photographed for Cox's book. Mysteriously, some of the blemishes on the gun that existed back in 1982 have disappeared!
So how does the seller arrive at the 50K figure? Because it is a three digit Colt TSMG? Because it lives on in immortality for having been one of the TSMG's used in Cox's book? It certainly can't be because it has been restored. If that were the arbiter for value, then any Colt TSMG owner could just as easily do the same to their weapon and be in the same exorbitant neighborhood.

I wonder if the white lettering is a holdover from the photos taken for Cox's book.
I concur on the blued over scratches as I thought I was seeing ones that looked blued over!
The wood may be original to the gun but certainly is not original finish now.
I will have to pull out my Cox book but what blemishes are you noting in the book that are missing now?

My assumption is this is refinished blue and the above statement would be different if otherwise.
Too hard to tell for me from pics if this is a refinished blue.

As stated its sad someone worked over what was once a great collector - reduced to a shooter by someone with a blueing tank.

I saw another mint 1921 gun that still had the original nickle plated oil can in the stock complete with vertigris.!!! Never been touched.

They are still out there folks.
Regards and Merry Christmas to you all.
