I was able to get a parts kit and cleaning rod from e-bay last week. I was happy to find both items; they were accurately described and seemed reasonably priced. I have been reading about parts kits/rods for years but never saw either item for sale. As far as I am concerned they are just display items for my 1928 along with web gear, manuals and assorted stuff. I would not dream of passing either item off as original and while I don't generally like reproduction items - high quality pieces like this add to the collection even as reproductions! Why did all the kits suddenly come up for sale? A Canadian dealer I purchase from occasionally had two original Auto Ordnance manuals, a Mills C-drum case and eight Mills and Russell L-drum cases for sale (all gone now). It seems odd to see all the TSMG accessories come to market at once.

Great point, I too could not understand how I was able to find this on eBay... nobody at all bid on it so I contacted the seller and made an offer and he took it right away. Not disappointed at all!

Huh.. I bought one from that same seller back in 2023 for more money.. He has sold a lot of "Gordon" part kit cases.. Makes me wonder... 

They are genuine. He must have a trunk full of them.

Those with my Amateur's Guide book can turn to pages 151 - 154 to learn more about the Herigstad Reproduction Spare Part Kits including the production figures. I later continued the story in, A Thompson Compendium, on page 162 with the information on how Gordon finally received the message about unmarked reproduction accessories from the Thompson community and decided to mark the kits. 

Ryo, I too paid more for my Gordon reproduction Spare Part Kit several years ago. But I am OK with that.

All good stuff!!!

Yeah they now want $340 shipped not bad. If a guy needs to fill a hardcase spot. I SOLD ONE AT SAR SHOW 4 YEARS AGO FOR $500.00.

EVEN THESE will get more. i think when i bought the few from Gordon decade or longer it was like $200 bucks. but i sold the 4 originals i had from $1500 to $2000 and that was well over 30 years ago.. I miss Gordon a real great guy, and post-504-0-72822500-1614202726_thumb.jpga friend.
