In the case of this .50 I think it's original fitting but later refinishing...but would need to examine it closely to be better informed.

Nice early features on that one, paddle selectors, Waldemar Broberg marked instead of George Goll, Auto Ord marked...finned barrel and earlier Cutts, there were four patterns of Cutts compensators. Also BNP marked as it may have come out of UK
in the early days when that stuff was around.
I had a '28...and converted it to an A1 config for shooting. Here's pics of it in '28 configuration.

No it's a GI issued sight for the M2, it was not widely used though. It's the "Sight, Telescopic, MI", the one I have was made in 1941 by the Fairchild Aviation Corporation. Unfortunately I don't have the leather M13 Carrying Case, but the lense is 100% clear, like new!!

The parts were original from the factory. It's just the nature of Armasteel when the parts are given a classical blued finish. PS-- Great looking Thompson

Agreed, parkerizing coats the outside of steel with a textured crystalline finish, blue goes into the pores of the metal and allows the metal to be viewed...

Nice gun, looks like a "Savage" barrel marking.

My M1A1 Thompson, with the stock removed for the picture. A "send the folks back home hero shot," taken by my loader someplace in sunny southeast Asia

Thank you for sharing your guns. Your M3 SMG has been rebuilt at least twice by the Red River Army Depot and Rock Island Arsenal. You have a great collection.
Cheers

I had an M3A1 for a while too, Guide Lamp also. No pics of that one I'm afraid. Shot it all I could...
