I was just wonder if #3022 was a 1921A, AC or 1927 or 1928A, AC I do have some original Colt Thompson parts on my 3022 Mr. Big Guy, Unfortunately, not listed in Gordon's reference book. Without shipping dates when they were sold, it is impossible to tell what model they were. The serial numbers were not sold in consecutive order, but to some degree they generally follow a pattern of lower numbers being earlier sales. Most guns seen in the lower 3000 serial number range are 1921A Models, with 1921AC probably coming in second. There are some very low numbered 1928 Navy Models, but they are the exception. I would think it likely that those numbers were 1921A or 1921AC Models. No way to tell for sure, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbcps Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) 1928 Navy 10411, listed in Gordons book as " United States Army" is now in the UK and has been for some time, deactivated with UK Proof House certificate. Currently for sale with a UK a dealer for export to a Non EU country, damn those new EU laws. Same seller has an early Savage Model of 1928, S/N 44006, with the NY address, again for export to a Non EU country.....

Sandman1957 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Duane, You COLTS appears to have been reblued or touched up. Also, the wood may have been refinished. The wood to metal fit is off for a COLTS. When you get possession, please post more and better photos. Specifically the barrel showing the FINS from the side.Sandman1957FWIW I hope I am wrong on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtu2179 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) I am already aware of the wood being refinished at some point. Not sure about the re-blue. The barrel was replaced at some point. The price I paid reflects those things, at least in my opinion it did. But happy to post more photos when I get it. I am satisfied with the purchase.

anticus Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) There are (or were) two nearly pristine Colt 21AC's in the armory of the St. Louis County Police Department, my old-old employer. These were legacy weapons from the old Sheriffs' department. I worked with the armorer at the time (early to mid 70's ) and got to fire them at the old County range. I've had Thompsonitis ever since. I kick myself now that I did not record the serial numbers. They may be listed in Gordon's reference, I have no way to check. Would love to find out more, they were beautiful specimens.

mbc230 Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Hello. I have an update on Colt 1921 Thompson Serial Number 7244. I am the current owner of it and absolutely love this gun as it is my prized possession. I bought it two years ago from Ruben Mendiola of www.dealernfa.com. This gun was sold by E.E. Richardson to the Kenosha, Wisconsin Police Dept and is referenced in Gordon's Book. This gun was also serviced by Dan Block. This is for update purposes.

Bill in VA Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Another Irish Sword. No idea on the serial number though; I spoke with the docent in the office next to the display and he had no idea either. Regardless, this one is on display at Caernarfon castle in Wales, in the Welsh Fusiliers’ museum as part of a display of weapons seized from the IRA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
