Actually, a 3 digit Colt Thompson 1921 in that kind of condition would be at least 6, if not 7 digits. There is a 4 digit for sale for $1,0000,000. And everything below serial number 15,000 is a Colt Thompson Model of 1921.
I made a custom stock out of English Walnut years ago for an old 1921 Auto-Ordnance Thompson. I worked for John Martz the Luger carbine maker from Lincoln, California at the time. I believe that the English Walnut stocks are some of the best stock making wood in the world. I just find it very difficult to make a living these days making rifle stocks. I noticed that the Thompson at the back end of this presentation had property ticket pasted on it. I was thinking that's an "E" ticket as in Disneyland E ticket.
maybe in the ex-soviet union with all the lend-lease thompsons getting into russia to spelunk in old warehouses is probably not gonna be easy to do, especially these days
But unless those foreign warehouse Tommy’s were registered in the USA prior to May 1986, they can never be owned by civilians. And the registered ones command a premium price. They are however, a blast to shoot if you ever get the chance.
@@tehwin89 Yeah, ive seen a few photos of the ongoing Ukraine/Russia conflict that have shown both sides using the Thompson with the stick magazine, even seen a few STG 44s. Crazy to think that such historic, sought after weapons are laying in the mud of modern day trenches, being held by men and women that would rather be just about anywhere but there.
@@builtdifferent244 Not to mention the Congress Creeps that sponsored the bill banning them. And a certain “pro-gun” organization that turned a blind eye.
Great video thing that caught my eye was the peters cartridge company boxes of riot ammo and why aren’t we using that today in these trouble times. Now that would be interesting.
I'm not sure about Dillinger's Tommy Gun, but the weapons used by Capone's men in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre are in a Sheriff's office in Michigan.
I'd personally rather have one in a better caliber than .45 ACP. Yeah I know some will call it blasphemy but to be honest, a 10mm or even a 9mm variant would be preferable not to mention something that doesn't weigh near as much. It's kinda like how I want an m1 carbine in .300 HAM'R.
A three digit tommy gun with a five digit price!
Actually only four if you get the remakes

“Mr Salieri sends his Regards”

When you got to run a bootlegging gig, storm a beach, save your crush on Skull Island, and scare off pesky hotel employees, this is what you need.
Povarotti & tommy's Is a beautiful combination 😢😭🇺🇸

Neat! We have several of Mr. Martz's pieces in this auction as well.
We probably all want this to do Joseph’s iconic ‘tommy gun overdrive’
This was beautifully put together just like the gun.
I always hope that maybe... Just maybe... There is still a forgotten wearhouse somewhere full of these.
maybe in the ex-soviet union with all the lend-lease thompsons

Michael Sullivan in "Road to Perdition" or Leo O'Bannon in "Miller's Crossing" are the ne plus ultra Tommy Gun users.
“Road to Perdition” was a GREAT movie for the Chicago Typewriter!
Absolutely Beautiful !!!
Trademark weapon of hip firing.
Love the music I had to watch it a couple of times👍🏼
I've fired fully auto. Including a 1928 Tommy gun. It's fun but it burns ammo so damned fast. 💸💲💰 Bring your checkbook.

love my Auto Ordinance 1927 A1 Tommy! awesome firepower! Brawny gangsters weapon!
😢😢😢😢 beautiful
Wow, the condition of it looks awesome.
Tommy gun is my heart I love it I wish I could get one
Perfect for planning valentines day outings!
Probably the best iron sight on a gun I’ve seen
Beautiful part of history
It’s beautiful a work of art even
Thinkin of Nicolas Cage on rage firing this iconic gun in windtalkers 😅😂
One day I'll have one... one day
With ammo prices where they are I can only afford one in 22LR.
Look up standard manufacturing gun company. They make a few tommy style guns in 22
Beautiful 😭
Super fun to shoot! Just so heavy, even without drum…
New tommy guns are ultra lightweight though- so fun,fun,fun…🤓🥳
Its the wood on steel 4 me
I want one, but only if it's full auto hahaha
Yuu got enough money for a class 3 license? lol
Everyone wanted one because of mobsters and that drum mag lol
Drum mag came in two sizes I believe. 50 rounds and 100 rounds. The Thompson gets crazy heavy with a filled 100 round drum mag on it.
now thats gangster
I've often wondered who has john Dillinger's old T-gun 🤔 I bet that's worth some big money today!
read two tommies that were used in the 1933 Kansas City Massacre are in an Indiana museum. Best to Google for more info.
I'm not sure about Dillinger's Tommy Gun, but the weapons used by Capone's men in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre are in a Sheriff's office in Michigan.
2046... it's 4-digit...
there cool thats why
Mr. Belluccio, we sell lotsa whiskey at da bodega

And windtalkers , Public enemies, Road to perdition , James Ryan and so on 😅best weapon ever Made ( my opimion )
Next to no recoil, so happy I got to shoot one.
no recoil coz the thing weighs a tonne lol
"Play us a symphony"
I have two 1928s... sadly both are semi auto... still fun...45ACP is in the top ten inventions of all time...my opinion.. maybe not yours...
MAFIA 😈

Has anyone ever seen a 21st century Tommy gun
How's the front hand grip held on
Through a tang that juts out from under the barrel, which holds the tang in place, which is threaded for a long bolt that holds the grip to it.
Oh he'll yeaaaaaa
George nelson bussin that tommy 😂
What was the first clip from?
I mean look at that Beauty.
It is every American’s god given right to own a full auto Tommy Gun
Biohazard 4!
Oh sick, I just posted a full Auto Thompson too haha!
I want one in .38 super
Colt made and no 28 overstamp, and no Cutt’s make’s just longer😂
OG FOREGRIP 👀
How about the untouchables?
Everybody wants one until they they fire one.
Weirdest built gun ever.
what is the name of the 2nd movie?
Imagine if someone made a Tommy gun that shot shotgun shells?
Yes
oh george not the live stock
What A Beautiful Weapon, My pfp Explains everything😂
Best gun made at the time 😮
Just about the most expensive also. And heavy. The WWII simplified version was easier to build, cheaper and lighter in weight.
But our shiddy laws keep us from getting one (at least at a reasonable price) T_T
YES ❤
That guys gonna do 20 years in the can for that crime
Song?
Favorite gun ever 😜
Well done 👏
Where is the scene from the mask movie where he makes tommy gun from balloon
Man, that beautiful thing is going to break the bank.
worth every dollar. seriously.
I do really want a airsoft tommy gun and in cw too
The Thompson is gorgeous, but your film clips do not show why everyone wants one. It only shows Thompsons being misused.
Cool
It's basically a Glock with a switch but with more accuracy😂
no it's not
no. just leave.
AL CAPONÉ GUN FOR ME.
ETA on opening of Bedford facility?
We plan on hosting our December Premier Auction there.
Sweatheart
Don't let looks deceive you, they are heavy and clumsy. Don't like them.
Honestly those foregrips look like they break easily
Actually, the foregrip is very sturdy. Aims itself. feels good in the hand.
@@jonrunnells8127 Yee I've never heard any stories of them breaking but just looking at it feels like it would snap right off...
Nahhh, Dog 1.
I could die a happy man if I could shoot and own a full auto Thompson with a drum magazine
True

Bioshock
How the hell you know
👍👍👍👍👊👊👊🎯🎯🎯❗❗❗❗
Thompson*
So you can fire an entire drum load and JUST MAYBE hit someone
Thommy poop😅😂
Not everyone, I don't like them. To awkward.
Why is SHAKH of IRAN use tommy gun?
Look how they massacred my boy😥
They really are terrible firearms though. I wouldn't buy one if I was going to use it
