For all of you USN/USMC folks out there, and for all of the info and help I've had here at TFL here is a lead to 1 of only 750 Thompson 1928 (firing .45ACP in semiauto only) to be smithed ... in the world.A mighty pretty speciman.
This came to me today as an ad in my Fleet Reserve Association magazine "Naval Affairs".
Take a look. http://ironbarr.com/ironbarrtest/thompson.htm
