early M1 Thompson, note the rear sight. Early checkered BAR fore-end, should have been cut down

Would make it the floating firing pin type with hammer I expect. I had one of those too.

one of the Thompson books states the M1 with the floating firing & hammer has the highest rate of fire - so high- they were given a
war time waiver. Now were not including the Thompson Colt 1921 as a war production example but was used at the start of WW2

I didn't hear that, yes the '21 would be substantially higher. Thus the model of '21/28, not to be confused with the '28/21.
