Always nice to see an early Savage 1928 with the NY, NY address. Did it have British acceptance markings?

It went for a bit more than that but not what it would have if it had been with Mendiola and Co...you guys get $25 G for them. Here, you struggle for $8-10 G...

A beauty. I always liked the 28's were you could take the butt stock off. Made a pretty compact machine, Ray

I also had an M1 for a while, I like the simplicity of that one.

I've seen those, and agree completely with the mod. Otherwise you could snag the actuator in passing and tap off a round into someone's backside...or just through both cheeks. And that would hurt.

WE had pretty well the whole ofthe UK MIlitary workshop notes for the Thompson gun, including the miscellaneous information regarding the value of saving, repairing and continued use of parts that would usually be scrapped - such as continuing to patch and repair butts long after they would be considered beyond repair or fitting of No1 or 4 swivels and butt plates in time of need. There was much more BUT I never saw this as a UK accepted modification. I realise the importance of it but I don't think that it was ever an official UK MIlitary modification.
Photos 2nd line, 5,6 and 7 shows the small W within a crown. This is the inspection mark of the ROF Woolwich where all the incoming non service pattern weapons were examined prior to sending to the Ordnance storeage depots

Excellent info Peter, had it for 22 years and no one could tell me that. As I recall there was something on the barrel flange too but it went when the barrel was changed.
