My all original 1921 Colt Thompson
« on: November 19, 2017, 07:03:24 PM »
This is the crown jewel of my collection, and I figured some of you may enjoy seeing it.  It's an all original Colt Thompson with matching 100 round drum magazine.  It has honest wear, but is in overall excellent shape.  Hard to believe it's 96 years old, and that it has kept all of it's pieces and not been refinished!  Thankfully!  Hope you all enjoy the picture, and thanks for looking.

Nice!  What are their serial numbers?  I can look up their entire history for you.  Sometimes you'll be surprised.  I thought mine was always at a PD until they sold it in the 1950s, but it turns out a doctor bought it new in 1926 first.

There are quite a few Colts and original drums at various Hawaii PDs I have been trying to see in person for a while now.  They were all very surprised when i called in and told them the serial numbers of the guns they had and if they would mind checking on their condition for me.  Haha.

The plus side that I can tell you is that you will have so much more money in your bank account here.  Being able to collect machine guns drains bank accounts like no other.  Haha.

If you guys enjoy the pictures, I'll gladly post many more.  I have pictures of all my machine guns on my phone for me to drool at for 11 months a year while Im in Kauai.  Haha.
