EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Thompson Sub Machine Gun, model M1928A1 chambered in .45 caliber, manufactured by the Auto-Ordnance Corporation in the United States during the early 1940s. The gun's distinctive features are on full display, including its rectangular receiver, long handguard, and adjustable rear sight. The M1928A1 was a popular weapon during World War II, and this particular example bears the telltale signs of its wartime service. The breech of the gun is stamped with the British War Department's ownership mark, indicating that it was at one point in the possession of the British military. The view marks on the gun suggest that it may have been used in a training or inspection capacity, rather than in combat. Two drum magazines, each capable of holding fifty rounds, are shown in the photograph, adding to the weapon's imposing presence. The Thompson Sub Machine Gun, also known as the "Tommy Gun," was first developed in the United States during the 1920s and quickly gained a reputation as a reliable and effective weapon. Its versatility and ease of use made it a favorite among military and law enforcement personnel during World War II. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this iconic weapon and the role it played in shaping the course of military conflict during the 20th century.
