    Where did you get THAT information, did you go there and pick it up yourself? Sounds like the claim that "It's been in this collection for 50 years"...

    I think it's a copy, I can show you my Savage front grip for comparison, there are no sharp corners...yes, mine has been around but there's no similarity except the shape.

    Pretty simple. Nearly all Thompsons on the market in Europe originate from the War Aid Thompsons delivered to Russiaicon in WWII which were sold off until maybe 5 years ago via a large stock gun dealer.
