1942 Thompson M1 Unfired

Information

The M1 was only made in 1942 before due to cutting costs it was altered to a non walnut stocks and a fixed firing pin and became the M1A1. In 1942 the US Leased/lent Russia  M4 Sherman tanks. Inside each of these tanks were 2 M1 Thompson SMGs. We suspect that this Thompson is one of these guns. The Russians removed most of them and were never issued, we suspect that this is one of these weapons as it is in as new condition and has no signs of ever being fired. Truly a beautifull example and is the best Thompson we have ever seen.
