Recently. I decided to track down the information that has been accumulated over the years from Roger Cox, myself and Gordon Herigstad, on the owners of the Colt Thompsons. I was given access to Gordon's records and I have reconstructed the information on a computer. So that the information can be searched and manipulated easier. I have combined all of the information I have had over the years and new information recently found again in the National Archives by Kenneth Kogan. I am probably one of only three people to have read each and every serial number.....my head hurts. But what this means is that right now there is an opportunity to include new owners and information on missing serial numbers. So if you wish to include information on guns or owners. Please send it to me via a private text. I hope to go to press with a book and ebook (that can be searched) by the end of August or Sept. So write early and often. Tracie Hill

Congrats to the winners of the shoots and to all who attended this year's show and shoot. We had a 100 people in attendance through the two day event. With over 60 display tables. I hope everyone made it home safely. Now for the clean up of the show. See you all soon. The Hills

We will see you all next week. Plan for all types of weather. The Hills

You will meet some of the best people in the hobby...Unfortunately, you have to meet me too....🤨 Tracie

For sure the M1928N made by AO/Colt probably did. BUT, A large number of M1921/28 were converted by the military and we really don't know how they were out fitted. Tracie Hill

Yes it is. What do you have. Thanks Tracie Hill

At the time of production it was a N-2 Steel. By looking it up you should be able to find the cycle. Remember too that the actuator was made as a forging and was upsetted to create the knob. It was at this time that the knurling was created on the knob. Tracie Hill

Just watched the movie Edge of Darkness with Errol Flynn. Flinn’s character just pulled a 1928 out of a canvas Mills type gun case. Aaah Hollywood. Tracie

You know the Indian with TSMG mount appears to show a Thompson with an unfinned barrel. Could be the lighting but.... Looking at the comp it has seen a life too. I wonder if the army screwed on a blank firing or dummy barrel to keep from having live ammo fired during exercises. Tracie

Last call. Tracie

Welcome. I sell the books too. I just don't jump new members heavily about books. I like them to feel free in the hobby before I try to get books sold. Any of the Encyclopedia series are $100 ea. Tracie

The German division. Actually it is my cowboy name in Single Action Shooting Society. Truly. Badge number 19211 Tracie

You should give serious consideration to come to the All Thompson Show and Shoot July 31-Aug1. You can learn a masters level of information at the S&S. Tracie Hill

We should all pause and give thanks to a designer of the Thompson. Tracie Hill
