A fine example of a 1928A1 Thompson with Auto Ordnance Bridgeport address and horizontal forend, no compensator, and fixed peep sight. The left-hand ear of the readily available cocking handle is broken off, which does not affect serviceability. Lower assembly serial number is S-388493.

It appears that at one time there was a crack in the receiver to the rear of the ejection port which has been re-welded and finished over. Lower also retains over 95% of a black refinish over fairly heavy pitting. Wood has also been refinished and has some slight dings, nicks and handling marks. Bore is extremely fine shiny and bright. Bolt face is extremely fine. Magazines are near excellent and very clean. This will be an absolutely great gun to take to the range and shoot to your heart’s content.
