Is this spare parts tin a vintage original?


Recommended Posts

Hello, Can anyone confirm if this spare parts tin is vintage original?  Parts tin in excellent condition but I don't know enough to tell if it's original.  Thanks for any feedback.

I believe this Spare Part Kit (SPK) is original. That said, it is by far not the most common SPK. I call it an "outlier" SPK because of the differences in the first or most well-known SPKs. Also, very few of this variation have surfaced to date. It was not copper flashed or as nicely finished like the first SPKs; the construction is generally not as good. Those with this variation have told me the fit between the bottom container and lid is not a tight fit. Those with my book, A Thompson Compendium, see pages 154 - 157, and let me know your thoughts. 

I am curious about the history of this SPK. Are the firing pin and extractor marked with a manufacturer letter code, i.e., "S" for Savage Arms? 

Thank you for sharing.
