    Looking for value of Thompson Bridgeport L drum from WW2

    I have been looking on the internet but finding an original Bridgeport TSMG L drum for sale has been difficult to find. There are all kinds of reproductions but nothing relating to WW2


    This Bridgeport drum is NOS, still in the factory cardboard sleeve, never loaded or fired, still new.

    Any help to value (US) would be appreciated RCSAttachment 120261Attachment 120262Attachment 120263Attachment 120264Attachment 120265

    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.

    Seems to me that would be pushing the 3K range, IIRC.
