bug Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Wow. I didn't realize the mod 28 guns ran that late. When did the US----A1 roll marking begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azboater Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) My Inbound Numbers Matching Savage M1928A1 NAC Thompson "TOMMY GUN" marked#S243734NAC Edited November 18, 2015 by azboater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbcps Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) You already have my deactivated example listed, 162659 . They used an early roll stamp for the MODEL OF 1928 markings, with the "US" and "A1" being retrospectively added by hand stamping, so this one started life as a model 1928.There is another 1928A1 on the market over here in the UK at the moment, serial number S- 221992, which I note is not on your list.

Balder Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 US patent authorities demanded that a certain number of weapons would have to be stamped with the name/designation of the trademark that the manufacturer wanted to register/protect, in this case "TOMMY GUN". That number appears to have been 100,000; from around S-160 000 to S-260 000. Balder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hi Balder, It is always good to see you on the Boards. For the record, Auto-Ordnance Corporation did not have trademark protection for the term "Tommy Gun." The registered mark was only for the word "TOMMY" - and they were not the first to obtain trademark protection for this word. See:Small Arms Review magazine, Auto-Ordnance Trademarks, May 2010American Thunder III, page 134 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balder Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 TD, Thanks, good to see you too. And thanks for sorting out the details on this issue. I've more or less retired from gun collecting, for several reasons. Sold a few pieces (who needs 13 Lugers, anyway?) and bought some. But I still have my early Savage 1928, although I am ashamed about the fact that is hasn't been to the range for a couple of years. Need to do something about that next year. All the best, Merry Christmas to the members here and thanks to David for running a tight ship. Balder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGMike Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Some 30 years ago, I recorded s/n S-233796 as "Tommy Gun" marked. The gun was at Interarms, in Alexandria, VA; it had come from the U.K. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
