Jack Bolivar Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I am conducting some research on several FBI agents of the 1930-1945 period. I am trying to substantiate a marksmanship competition held at Camp Perry for Thompson's. Can anyone provide information on the competition and the names of the men who won the competition/championship during the 1930-40 period? I appreciate any assistance in this matter.Jim Coffey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim c 351 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Jack,In the book "The Ultimate Thompson Book" it mentions classes conducted at Camp Perry on the Thompson gun.It lasted for 3 years, 1929, 1930, & 1931. One TSMG was awarded to the highest scoring student each year.Apparently a change of ownership at AO brought these schools to an end.This took place before the FBI existed.The names of the winners are,---1929-Officer E. O. Davis, Little Rock, Ark1930-Constable J. W. Guy, Columbus, Ohio1931- Officer Frank Oehlsen, Chicago, Ill.Is this what your referring to???Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bolivar Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks for the responses. That is possibly what my source was referring to, although none of those officers are the one I am looking for. I will take a look at the Ultimate Thompson ...OCM Thanks for the Larry Wack connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwiifirearms Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I thought I had something from the display I worked on for the 100th anniversary of the matches in 2003. I could have sworn their was an image of a Thompson competition that involved shooting from inside a bus. So far all I found was a vaguely captioned image showing Police training (and poor muzzle discipline). I have tried to attach the PDF.CentennialChronicles18.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
