Sig Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 This has been discussed in 2013 including much about British proof marks. http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15848&hl=%2Bthompson+%2B3694&do=findComment&comment=131705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21NAVY Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Gordon's Book shows shipped 1-31-34 1 of 2. This gun is 10 serials later than mine (3684) and has the British proofs as does mine. In visiting with T.D. awhile back, These guns mostly showed up delivered to agencies on the southeastern coast states.Seems plausible that a group of these guns were taken to the UK for evaluation and brought back and sold on a sales trip to agencies thru the Southeast. Perhaps at a discount since they'd been used or fired/tested. Mine (3684) was shipped to Montgomery AL PD on 12-27-33 1 of 2. 3694 was shipped to Salisbury, NC (Rowan County) PD on 1-31-34 1 of 2, so the timing of the sales seems to fit that theory. I have no information proving this, just a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 21NAVY,My Navy (3811) has similar proofs as the thread Sig posted from 2013. I don't remember seeing that thread before, but have corresponded with T.D. as well. Mine was first registered in April 1935. Although redacted, I know from Gordon's book it was originally sold to the Hudson Coal Company in Pennsylvania. The next transfer was in 1955. All interesting reading.

m60mgman Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Buyers have to be licensed dealers, according to the ad. I've asked if a C&R is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m60mgman Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Serial numbers match receiver and trigger frame. C&R FFL is OK to bid according to seller, but govdeals tells me it's not. I think govdeals trumps the seller.
