Calling For Gangster Pictures Of Yourself With A Thompson


Recommended Posts

Sandy,

Tell us about the badge in the FBI case, is it from the original buyer PD?

Great looking cased set you have there!

I'm looking for a vintage FBI badge and wallet, do you have one or know of anyone that does?

Hi Darryl-

The gun in the case is my 28N, The gun in the picture by itself is my new ( pending ) 1921 AC. It came from the Anderson, Indiana PD, just North of Indianapolis. ( Dillinger country). They bought it March 3, 1931. I have two cases , so the 21AC will go in this case and the 28N the other.

Yes, the badge is also from the Anderson PD officer. A close friend out here is a retired Sheriff and way into the whole Dilliner scene and a Thompson expert, he's has had the opportunity to fire many original outlaw Thompsons. He also spent most his law enforcement career as a Sheriff /Detective in Indiana, actually was born in Andersen too, raised about 10 miles North. His wife is also born and raised in the Anderson, Indiana area and was in law enforcement.

 

Also to Jim C, will post closeups of the gun when I get it home, these were taken at the dealer, gun was all oiled up for shipment. It appears pretty much as is in the photos other then not as oily. Chuck was kind enough to help me go over the gun prior to purchase, also some help from a Deputy back there that I know. More in 6 months, you know the drill.

I'm about out of posting space, try one more here. Best I can do on size, I'm out of posting space, to many pictures posted-

Take two.

Photos of my daughter. First one she sent me when I was in Iraq doing non-politically correct things to knuckleheads.

Second this spring when she graduated from High School. she is now at NC State. And she is a great Thompson gunner.

I have to really check out suiter's as are they targeted on Megan or the Thompson? BTW getting an upgrade thanks, Brian.

Cheers,

Great, start them young, Sandman. Bill Helmer took photos of his kids with all sorts of weaponery. I don't believe his Ex-wife was reall happy, so he continued, Haaaa, have to know old Bill.

 

Also,

Thank you- Proud to be an American.

Our clothes are not period correct but here is my father and I (I'm the fat one on the right) holding the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre guns at the TCA Show and Shoot 2 years ago. Not sure if there is a way to top this picture for a father/son family photo....

I didn't dress up In time for a camera most times but I ran into these two interesting fellows. The stories I sat thru with them. Priceless.

 

That's my Thompson #3684 advertising Gordon's new cases.
