firstflabn--thank you.

Now, who has the carbine that was used to make the casting? THAT would make a neat collection............

I missed the most obvious attribute. The 'AAW' stamp on the stock is a rebuild mark - so whoever has the original has a restoration. This doesn't detract from your find though.

Maybe you've become the guy who went to set a mouse trap and found he was out of cheese. Thinking quick, he cut a picture of a piece of cheese out of a Velveeta ad in a magazine and baited the trap with it. He heard the trap spring and rushed to check on it - he had caught a picture of a mouse.

Probably couoldn't make it through an airport with it, huh?

DTC,
Thanks a bunch for the link... I went to it directly, and noticed that they still had a Thompson Sub-Machine Gun.... And bought it. It arrived last week, along with the "Certificate of Authenticity".. For what that's worth...
At first I was pretty dissapointed in the condition of the "gun". From the photos below, you can see that it has had pretty heavy use. Mostly, the muzzle part of the bbl is gone. But, as they advertised , "heavy use".
So here 'tis... My little THompson, to go along with the MP 40 "non-gun" I have. I can assure you that they both cause folks to stop and look when they wander by my table at the gun shows. Great conversation starters..
Thanks again for the link... It's a pretty cool toy!!
