I own the Thompson. I just want to straighten out a couple of things. This Thompson came from a family that had it for over 25++ years. I also got a near mint 1921A and other rare Thompson items with it. I am not a Thompson collector... never have been. Yes I own some really nice ones that I have had for 50 years. When I stumble across rare Thompson items I call Dave A., Darren and other RKI's on this message board to authenticate. If something is a fake or a POS I give it to whoever gives me the critique and they can keep it as a sample. I did this with Dave about a year ago. As for the registration. We all know its not a Colt but that is how it was originally registered. No big deal that can be corrected by sending the info to ATF. I have a binder almost 2" thick with correction letters that I have had to make the last 50 years to keep the registry accurate. I would like to pay for a eye exam for the expert who posted the image shack photos. The first picture is my Thompson from the gunbroker add. The rest of the photos are not mine and don't even come close to looking anything like the my photos or the Thompson in question. Why you would post such crap is beyond me unless you need major eye surgery or you are challenged in some other way. I put in the ad that the Thompson was most likely refinished. The lower is just the way it came to me. If there was supposed to be a NAC why would someone remove it? From what I m hearing it must make a difference in the value..? I don't know squat about these types of Thompson's. I just took it out and shot a 50 round drum thru it. It is a great shooter. So if that is all it is....... so be it. Ken Keilholz
