Manufactured by Auto-Ordnance for distribution by the American Historical Foundation, this is a post-WWII 1928 Thompson submachine gun in "1928A1" configuration, outfitted and decorated as a commemorative piece for World War II. Already a veteran of multiple conflicts and the rough streets of the American "Public Enemy" Era, the various models of Thompson were a signature weapon of the Allies in World War II, serving on every front of the conflict. Made as part of a limited run, AHF released 750 commemorative World War Thompsons in total, with only 85 being automatic weapons achieving maximum possible fidelity to the original wartime pattern; the remainder were semi-automatic only with an extended barrel, less true to the original but without the burden of the National Firearms Act. This example is a very close copy of the 1928A1, with a fine gold plated finish applied to the compensator, cocking knob, rear sight wings, trigger and sling swivels, a high polish blue on the barrel and receiver flats, matte blue curves, and fancy walnut furniture. The receiver markings are in the commemorative style, with commemorative badges laid into the right side of the pistol grip and both sides of the buttstock. Fitted with a brown leather sling. Included with the grouping is a glass-topped commemorative display case and related paperwork. Provenance: The Al Walker Collection

Condition: Excellent, with 98% plus original blue and gold finish, showing some light handling marks overall. The wood is equally excellent, with some minor play in the buttstock. The magazine catch hangs up a bit, otherwise mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) that is classified as a "Curios or Relic" as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These weapons are still subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
