I got one on ebay if you can believe it! This one? It would be good to keep all the GH SPK numbers in one place. Just found a link in a post, in that topic to another topic on the same subject from 2004. It'd be good to link these all together, if possible ?

colt21a Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 WELL MY BUDDY IN TOWN SAYS he just bought 15 kits and 15 cleaning rods and might have cleaned them all out. and says will bring to SAR show to see how they sell. If that is truth and that is the last of them all. I suppose price will go up someday. I sold the first few that Gordon had for me, years ago. but still have #292....R.K.

fullauto.az Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Just to clarify, I did buy everything Claire had left, including all parts tins, all cleaning brushes, all ejectors, all 21A mainsprings, all cleaning rods and I also got a few of the drum cover instruction cards that were left. The highest kit number I got was 465. As an aside, thrown into the deal, I got two embroidered handkerchiefs with the Thompson SMG likeness over the initials JTT. These were reputedly obtained by Gordon from the John T. Thompson family at some point in the past...no way to verify. Ron P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
