Colt Thompson, Model 1921, NO 8681 former St. Louis Police Department Thompson is offered for sale here.
This Colt Thompson was originally owned by the St. Louis Police Department. The St. Louis Police Department acquired 29 or 30 Thompsons total depending on the source of information. NO 8681 was shipped on 5/19/30 as a package of 17 Thompsons to Geller-Ward & Hasner Hardware Company, destined for the St. Louis Police Department. NO 8681 along with most of the remaining Thompsons in their possession, were sold out of the St. Louis Police department in 2017, first to MidWest Distributors, a Class 3 dealer in Kentucky, and then into private hands.
NO 8681 is mentioned in the book "An Amateur's Guide for the Colt's Thompson Submachine Gun", by Tom Davis, Chapter 16 The St. Louis Police Department Thompson Guns, documenting many of the St. Louis Police Department Thompson Guns.
This Thompson has all original Colt Thompson era parts as it did when it left the St. Louis Police Department, excepting for the barrel which as received was a military smooth barrel 1928AC. This 1928AC barrel has since been replaced with a replica to reflect a 1921A, manufactured by www.thompsonbarrels.com.
This replica barrel compliments the firearm and along with the many spare shooter parts, making this a firearm that one can proudly display but can also safely and confidently shoot without worry.
