lollol

I'm not sure it will hit $50k, but should easily be in the $40-45k region, that's what the last 2 x transferable M1921 Thompsons I've seen in auctions went for.
As a bona fide, saddo Thompson addict - if I could, I would, in a heart beat - especially one of the original Colt made '21's... :p

With the recent change in deact laws - be worth nothing now.

You can't give it away or sell it unless it's its got a new post May 2017 dated cert. Which is a real shame if it's an early pre-95 spec one, which prior to May this year would have been worth £1000-2000 depending on whether its a 1928A, A1 or a M1A1.

I should have sold both my pre-95 spec 1928's before the deadline (sold my pre-95 M1A1) but just couldn't part with the '28's, especially the genuine British issue one.

Shot a Thompson recently in Vegas along with a M2 Full Auto 30 Cal Carbine. Preferred the M2 the Thompson's are very heavy.
