Well this is my first show and I am looking forward to meeting everyone. I booked at the Cherry Valley Hotel and now I am concerned after hearing the comments. They said it has been remodeled. Please fill me in, what were the past problems? Arriving tomorrow night and will be at Tracie's on Thursday morning. Cam.

What kind of a stand are you folks using to display your C-Drums? Photo's? Anything available?

OOPS, Sorry and I will re-post. Thanks

What are you folks using to hold your C-Drum for a display?

Thanks Pat. I do have a display that I am working on but it won't be shown until 2022.

Great info guys and thank you.

C. Thanks for all your help and information, much appreciated. I had the pleasure of talking to TD today and like you he was extremely helpful. Regards, Cam.

Chief William P. Walter (1929) Chief William P. Walter 1929.jpg It seems that Walter did send back all four of the Colt TSMGs to AOC for the 2nd pattern Cutts/barrel upgrade between 1932 and 1934 when he was suspended. He was convicted in 1935 for malfeasance in office. Arthur Thanks for the reply and the picture of Chief Walter. Do you know where I might be able to obtain a quality large size photo of him? Also where did you get the information showing that all four TSMGs were sent back to AOC? I certainly would like to obtain a copy for my records. Thanks, Cam.

I don't have a web page, just a collector with lots of stuff like most others. I have been a Colt pre war double action revolver collector for the past fifty years but this is my first venture into the world of Thompsons so I am looking for a lot of good help and advice.

Gijive and TD Thanks for taking the time to comment on my items. As per your request I have a few more pictures for you to look at: Barrel: As you can see the Cutts is just screwed on to the barrel and not attached. How were these originally attached? With a cross pin like the barrel on my Thompson?

Thanks for the replies and I apologize for the delay in getting back to all of you. Jim Thanks for the nice comments. After I am on this Forum for awhile I hope to get familiar with it. It's interesting that your Thompson was also shipped to the Trenton Police Department. I see that yours was shipped in a group of twelve and mine was in a group of four. That's 16 Thompsons to the same Police Department, sounds like a lot to me. As for shooting the gun, yes I would like to and I did talk to Tracie about that. I already have another barrel and will try and obtain the other parts needed in order to be able to shoot it without doing any damage to the gun. These things are expensive and the last thing I want to do is damage it. I appreciate the advice. gijive I am unaware about the compensator as I am just learning about these so I can't really comment on it. I did not receive any documentation that the gun was sent back to Auto-Ordnance for the addition of the compensator. Is this information still available somewhere? Here are the pictures that you requested: Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hopalong Thanks for the nice comments and its nice to see you over here as well. I hope that Thompson is in your future. TD I do not know what the 1934 IRS Form 1 is so could you please explain. I did not get that form. As for the Spare Parts Kit here are a couple of photo's: Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki I will reach out to you at your e-mail. I do have your book as I bought about ten books on the Thompson while I was in the ten month wait to receive it. I just sent in my membership application for The American Thompson Association (TATA). I plan on attending the meeting at the end of July if life gets back to normal. Along with the extra barrel that I was able to obtain I was also able to get an early C-Drum. Here is a picture: Hosted on Fotki

Jim. I forgot to ask what the serial number is on your 28AC if that is proper protocol do so.

Thanks Jim for the kind words. I spend a lot of time on the Colt Forum but am a real newbie here so I still have to learn my way around. I just received the Thompson after a ten month wait for the permit. I am still trying to figures out what section here is like the Lounge on the Forum. Cam.

I have been a Colt collector for the past fifty plus years but I just received my first Thompson. It's a 1921AC and the serial number is 4001. It was shipped to the Trenton, New Jersey Police Department C/O Captain W. Walter on 6/3/25. As it turns out Captain Walter had a checkered past as he was tied in with the mob and ended up in Federal prison for a couple of years.

Mine was sent in on April 15, 2019 and I received it a few weeks ago.
