    The Camden Police Department purchased six Colt Model No. 27A in 1928. Gordon Herigstat had accounted for three of them, #4390, #5239, #5286, but not their original purchase dates. Discussed in these threads: http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11213&hl=%2Bhoward+%2Bunruh http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11232&hl=%2Bcamden+%2Bp.d. http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8456&hl=%2Bcamden+%2Bp.d.&do=findComment&comment=71692 http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8982&hl=%2Bcamden+%2Bp.d. http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9823&page=3&hl=%2Bcamden+%2Bp.d.&do=findComment&comment=84261 Chief of Police James E. Tatem arranged for the purchase of the Colts back in February. 1928 and a month later, Mayor Winfield Price fired Tatem and replaced him with Chief Stehr. The firing might have stemmed from the following newspaper account of this transaction. Camden Courier Post February 6, 1928 photo showing the above mentioned "red bandit chasing coupes used by the district squad members." Board members currently own #5239 (as seen in Nelson's "The World's Submachine Guns with WWII grip) and #5286 (with property tag) Owners have stated that they retain their original semi-auto only parts. This is relevant when considering press reports of the Camden police firing their "submachine guns" during shootouts including the well-publicized Howard Unruh "Walk Of Death" in September, 1949. Described in this newspaper account. Same officer as seen in first picture on roof with Colt 1927A And this Cleveland Plain Dealer August 25, 1931 account: While AOC might have figured there was a law enforcement and penitentiary market for the Thompson Semi-Automatic Carbine (presumably because some officials did not trust their people to handle submachine guns), the distinction was lost on the press. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
