What Era is this? Kahr manufactured or earlier?

I don't know

It should say right above the trigger right side.

It says West Hurley....does that make it a Kahr ?

 

[Bigbaddude]

I think the ones built by Kahr say Thompson above the trigger.

The name "Auto-Ordnance Corporation", which had been abandoned in 1944, was re-registered in New York on June 14, 1974 by Numrich Arms Corp. of West Hurley, New York. The new "Auto-Ordnance Corp." had no connection with nor was it a successor in interest to the original Auto-Ordnance Corporation of Thompson, Ryan, Maguire, and "Tommy Gun" fame although its literature, catalogs, trademarks, and "Thompson" gun patterned to look like the original Thompson fools consumers into believing otherwise. Kahr Arms purchased the new "Auto-Ordnance Corp." from Numrich Arms in 1998, apparently believing that they were actually buying the original Auto-Ordnance Corp., not the one created by Numrich Arms.
