TD. Posted September 28, 2024 Report Share Posted September 28, 2024 It is a Pre-May Sales Sample with a mis-matched frame that reportedly has been refinished/restored by PK. at Diamond K Companies. It was imported by ARMEX Corporation in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask if it was matching and refinished. It looks to be in good shape but my thought was about $7,000+ over its worth. What are your thoughts?

Got Uzi Posted September 29, 2024 Report Share Posted September 29, 2024 Considering what shooter grade transferable Colt guns go for, and what USGI pre sample 1928’s go for, I think they are in line or a little light on the price. You can’t even get a USGI pre sample for $20k now. Also consider there are MAYBE 7-10 pre sample Colt Thompson’s in the NFA registry, it might as well be considered a transferable as most dealers would love a Colt gun. I have a Colt NAVY-7056 pre sample and it’s a great shooter. While it was less than a transferable, it’s not a common gun to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD. Posted September 29, 2024 Report Share Posted September 29, 2024 Additional information: I see an indication on the pictures I have NO 5382 may also be a former USMC Colt Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted September 29, 2024 Report Share Posted September 29, 2024 This may be what NO 5382 looked like before PK. performed his magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
