Got Uzi Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Id like to buy those guns for the estimates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Omaha Police Department purchased 11 Thompson submachine guns from Auto-Ordnance. I believe at least four of these guns were engraved and marked (receiver, frame and wood to various degrees) with the police department name - NO 6246, NO 7410, NO 8674 and NO 9661. More could have been engraved but these are the ones I know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayrain Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 I thought it would be a nice auction, until I realized it's on Proxibid as well and I'll never win anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Well, I started the bidding on a couple. Sure that will go away quick. Funny, starting bid is higher than I paid for mine I have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCTMG Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 The "estimates" for the sale prices seem very low, at least for the Thompsons(I don't know anything about the other guns being offered). A real Colt 1921 estimated to sell for $17,500-25,000? Even with all the "Omaha PD" markings, I wouldn't think that would reduce the value much.....

giantpanda4 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Proxibid does not do NFA stuff anymore. RIA has a work around - they show it on Proxibid and say "item not available on Proxibid". Kinda smart. I see it on the link from Icollector, not Proxibid. If it is there on Proxibid now, it will probably be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Mills Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Mills the Omaha guns get them up bro...Being a native Nebraskan, its interesting to me that the OPD marking in script is the same font as their daily newspaper title, the Omaha World Herald. Maybe the paper lent them the plates? That PD mustve had a good sized budget for arms. R.K. doesnt miss a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry Ploughboy Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Mills the Omaha guns get them up bro......That PD mustve had a good sized budget for arms...Or money from outside of their budget. The Texas Rangers got the funds for four of their Colt TSMGs from an undisclosed donor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
