giantpanda4 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 This looks neat, I'd like to at least copy it! But is there a thread of originality to it? My guess - and only a guess - is someone at the base made the case up. Obvioulsy for a specific gun (note s/n on tag) Also, was the nassau st address correct at WWII time? I think this has a history, i just don't know what it is! Anyone ever seen a box like or similar to this? Greg - wanna make us up a few? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philasteen Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Was AO corp at 31 Nassau Street during WWII production of M1A1s? I don't think so but am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Excellent question. I know the New York address for the Auto-Ordnance Corporation in 1940 was 80 Broadway. New York City, NY. However, I cannot say for certain the 31 Nassau Street address was no longer associated with Auto-Ordnance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry Ploughboy Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Not that I am a particular fan of SG, but for an M1 or M1A1 TSMG, the Sportsmans Guide 6 Pistol case is a perfect fit. Pop the frame off the upper and the gun fits right in with room for several stick mags. Aluminum shell with eggcrate foam inside and a pretty decent seal around the border. About $40. No plaque, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3BigDaddy Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 OK Who is this ricardodes? He's won 17 out of the last 20 auctions with a single bid..... Either he has a sniping program, or he has plenty of time to spend in front of his computer....... I hate overseas auctions as they usually end in the wee hours here on the left coast..... I'm on a mission now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Ricardobes is Richard Garcia in Canada. He has posted here in the past, but it's been a long time since I've seen him on the board. David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondAmend Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Isn't he the guy who was going to start the glossy periodical about Thompsons? So ah, whatever happened to that, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Dave - I thought Richard Garcia went by "Brullen" on evilbay. And yes - he was the one who was publishing a periodical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 He stopped using the name "Brullen" on Ebay about a year ago, but he is the same collector who formerly used that name. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adlake Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Those latches seem to be the ones I just bought for my parts box I made up for my TSMG Parts. Modern day hinges is my .02 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
