The 10 - 1/2" round tapered barrel has no sights and is a new reproduction. These accessories are mounted to a 80 percent upper receiver. There is an original rear sight mounted that is heavily pitted and has been repainted a matte black. The receiver is marked "AUTO-ORDNANCE CORPORATION BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT, U.S.A", top is marked "U.S. PROPERTY" and also with the Thompson trade mark logo, left side marked "THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN CALIBER .45 M1 NO." Wood is good with minor scratches and dents. Rear metal buttplate has door for cleaning kit. Includes one "AUTO-ORDNANCE CORP." 20 round magazine in good condition with some minor pitting. Also included is the receiver build invoice, blueprints and other informational articles. This fine display piece includes a wood display stand and would make a great addition to collector's gun room.
