Thompson canvas case

**HD-Ghost** · 02-10-2017 03:35 PM

This was a WWII (airborne?) case designed for the '27-28 Thompson sub-machine gun models with the detachable butt stock. About 2.5' in length with a number of pouches for magazines. It was canvas, in a light desert color.

Any ideas as to value or where I might find a value?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Are you referring to a Griswold bag? If you have pics it would help... Price would depend on where you find it. I'm guessing the first one?

Don't have pics (item is with my Dad), but it is similar to the first pic. But USGI. The second pic you have looks like a drop-bag. Don't think I've seen one so short.

The short ones were cropped for the job. Later they just folded over and cinched them. The first one is available as a copy from IMA... International Military Antiques | Military Collectibles, Militaria, Antique Guns, 400 years of Military History for Sale ima-usa.com

You will, obviously, need to ascertain whether the example which you have is an original or a copy before you can establish any sort of value. The only way that Forum members can help you discover if it's an original is if you can provide some pictures of it.

We'd need to see it for sure...

**HD-Ghost** · 02-13-2017 11:50 AM

Let's assume it is an original (which it is). How much? All I want is a ballpark figure so my Dad does not give it away.

**browningautorifle** · 02-13-2017 12:09 PM

Hearsay...

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, like anything else. It's very difficult for anyone to give you an idea of the value for it without actually seeing a picture.
