1921A

PM sent. 1921A

In the late 1980s Tampa PD did have a 1921A with the serial numbers ground/gouged out. I had the opportunity to examine the gun but could not convince them to pull the barrel. They also had the C drum with the numbers defaced in the same manner. If memory serves, TPD said the gun was seized in Melbourne and then sent to them for ballistics testing. I believe there are period news paper articles confirming the seizure and subsequent transfer to Tampa. The story is credible, At the time, TPD’s crime lab was more modern and better equipped than most Florida agencies. Attempts to find out if this gun is still there were unsuccessful but it may be worth another try. It might solve the mystery. Greg Fox

Finally, I have the outer covering material back in stock for the Police and FBI cases. I’ll start working on back orders as soon as possible. If you’re waiting on one feel free to contact me for updates. Greg Fox

With David’s permission; If anyone is interested in a drum case I have 2 currently listed on Sturmgewehr, a 6 drum L case (SOLD) and a 5 drum C case (SPF). Also have two 6 drum C cases not listed. These will probably be the last of the C drum cases. Greg Fox 1921A

I have a disappointing update to this post. The leather covering material used on the FBI and Police model cases is still stalled in New Jersey for embossing. I spoke to them Tuesday and was told it might be ready to ship this week. Consequently, orders for Police or FBI cases will be further delayed. Orders for Indiana cases and drum cases are not affected. Greg Fox

Good morning all: Update: We’ve finally secured a new source for the correct leather material used on the original Police cases. It’s being finished this week and should ship the week of 4/6/25. There have also been questions about availability of the large end bolts found on some original Police cases. My stock of N.O.S. Eagle bolts ran out about 2 years ago. Since then, we were able to find a few used ones from old trunks and cases and have them reconditioned. These were offered as options with price based on costs to repair and re-nickel them. This week I found and purchased a small quantity of N.O.S. Brass Excelsior and a few Eagle “locking” bolts. These will not require repair but will need to be nickel plated. They will be offered as an option on the Police case. Locking bolts are the same size and shape as the standard bolt. Pictures below show the bolts for comparison.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have Tolex but it just doesn’t look correct on the Thompson cases. 1921A

Fox replica Indiana case

Good morning. We have been asked if we can still make Police and FBI style cases for the Thompson. We can make them but the sources for leather handles and prewar style leather covering material disappeared a couple of years ago and our supply is exhausted. We have been working with potential new suppliers but progress has been much slower than expected. There is some good news. We recently found and acquired a small quantity of vintage prewar Presto and Eagle hardware as used on original Police and FBI cases. There is also enough hardware and leather covering material to make Indiana style cases and drum cases for now. If you have a Police or FBI case on order we appreciate your patience and we will finish those as soon as leather is available. Greg Fox

Update: L drum Carriers; The 6 drum carrier pictured is sold. The 5 drum carrier is still available. I have 1 more 6 drum and 2 more 5 drum cases available from this run. New: C drum carriers; We have a 5 drum version in production now. They should be ready by mid July. C drum carrier (5 drum prototype)
