I am fairly new to the world of Thompson’s but have always wanted one after reading many books and knowing my Grandfather’s involvement in WWII. A few weeks ago my local FFL came across an old guy wanting to liquidate some things. I was told he had a few WWII 30 caliber bags as well as two (2) what he was told old WWII Thompson stick magazine (I have attached pictures). He kept one and had the FFL consign the other. It looked to cool to pass up and it appeared to be legit, so I thought what the heck and bought it, if nothing else if would look good and be a great conversation starter. It is tightly wrapped in some type of cloth/burlap that has been covered in what appears to be cosmoline or some other type of waxy grease, and banded with two straps. The straps/bands I liken to what we see in today's shipping world, they are not metal. It is the right length for a 30 round mag and if you run your fingers around the mag profile you can feel many of the identifying characteristics of the Thompson mag. I do not want to unwrap the mag as I am sure this will affect both collectability and any value it may have. Loosely attached to the mag is a small label, typed on a small piece of paper and tucked under the bands is the following (the last part I cannot make out as it is tucked under the strap and I am afraid I will tear the label): STK No. A032-65-35506 NOMEN. MAGAZINE QUANTITY EA 1 PROCESSED FOD DATE 15 Dec ____ If anyone can provide any information on this it would be truly appreciated. Is there any value to the vintage Thompson aficionado crowd or are these desired by collectors. Because I have been unable to locate anything associated with this item including an internet search of the stock number, I am fairly certain there are not a lot of these around? Can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance.
