full auto 45 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Yep, looks like going prices for all the items. The case may be a little low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Gonna guess this came out of a PD that didn't have paper on it or didn't want the hassle of finding out if it did. Would be a crying shame if the gun turned out to have been a transferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any idea on why this drum mag is selling for almost 2.5K? What type is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Hi JSDKMS, Welcome to the Thompson forum. The drum in the auction is referred to by collectors as a Stanley "NO." L drum. It is a somewhat rare variation that usually brings a premium price for those who collect Thompson drums and accessories. Knowledgeable members of this forum that may be interested can see this drum may have a few issues and are probably asking the seller for more pictures. I certainly would be. If your interested in Thompson drums and magazines, may I suggest a book by forum member Roger Herbst: Thompson Submachine Gun Magazines: 1917-2021. It is available on Amazon.com or directly from the author. This book is the current authority on the subject. The Thompson community can be very expensive, especially if you do not know and understand the many products and variations. Books like Roger's, above, can help you avoid many expensive pitfalls.

I find it very suspect that the seller states in the conditions that they will not answer any requests for more photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Sarge Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Wish I had deep pockets....all I'd want is the mag catch and front grip then I'd sell off the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Since I collect all types of stuff, and own just one 1928A1, can you guys tell me why sequentially numbered drums are special? Were the drums made and matched to specific guns (sn?) or is is just that you have two drums with sequential serial numbers? I don't see why this is of value, like say two guns with sequential SN's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1957 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 (edited) I am fairly positive that the stock is not an original remington stock. It also look like it is missing hardware on the stock. Edited January 10 by Sandman1957 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why this is of value, like say two guns with sequential SN's.... Having a Colt C drum is pretty scarce. They were not numbered to guns, although if you had a low numbered Colt and a drum with the same number it would be cool, I believe there are a few out there that have matched up and L or C drum to a 3 digit gun. Having sequential numbers is unique and probably not very common at all. However the premium placed on them seems wayyyy optimistic, IMO, but I’m not a player.

Got Uzi Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 So given what that kit went for, does that mean that the Colt parts market is coming down? Normally a kit like that would have been in the $8k-$10k range. Have we seen the peak on inflated prices and are they starting to come back to reality? That being said, I can't believe that case went for what it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I can't believe that case went for what it did. I believe that prices for luxury and/or discretionary items has flattened or weakened in the last several months. Some feel that this may be a harbinger of an imminent recessionary period. MHO, YMMV, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Police style hardcases are not very common. Original FBI style hardcases are much easier to find. This original case was in pretty good condition. I was not surprised to see the final price go past $4000, almost to $5000. Rarity and condition will usually have an impact with price. The Colt parts kit would most likely have received higher bids if the butt stock had been original and in nice condition. The grip was also questionable.
