which once belonged to the Douglas County Sheriff and now resides in Auckland, New Zealand, (the gun, that is. not the Sheriff!)
The gun serial number is 5413 and was sold by the Law Enforcement
Ordnance Co Athens, Georgia on the 30th December 1974 for $2100.00 along with another identical gun number 3089 to a dealer in Christchurch New Zealand, from whom The current owner obtained it. The second gun, number 3089 has "disappeared"
It is engraved "Douglas County Sheriff, Omaha Nebr"
See Gordon Herigstad's book "Colt Thompsons" Serial Numbers.
The gun is engraved as below
It is also engraved under the stock catch.
Unfortunatly, the drum is a West Hurly 39Rd which is all the owner was able to purchase at the time. I will see if we can get him a colt drum.
Very nice and desirable Thompson with an interesting history.
I hope you might be interested.

Regards
Murray.
