RoscoeTurner Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have looked in both AT and AT II without much luck. Is there a reference that gives approximate manufacture dates of M1 and M1A1 Thompsons by serial number block? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Iannamico Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 That is the most common Thompson question asked... You can get a rough idea by studying the shipping / contract records in American Thunder II, but many individuals, including myself, have spent years looking, and no such documents have ever been found. Dolf Goldsmith showed me a document like that for Brownings, but he couldn't remember where he got it. Maybe someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading AT II this afternoon trying to figure out approximately what serial number the M1's and M1A1's started at but I guess that is one of those impossible questions also. I have had an M1A1 in the 502,000 range and waiting on the paperwork for one in the 827,000 range. I wanted to find out about what year they were manufactured, both are Savage production. Pretty sure they date prior to Feb 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
