Serial Numbers Hack
I feel certain the serial numbering of the M1 series of Thompson's did not start where the 1928 series stopped. On Page 225 of Frank's book is a picture of NO. 980, a Savage M1 described as being manufactured during the first day of production. I have also seen Savage M1 Thompson serial number 478. Offered for sale is an Auto-Ordnance Model of 1928 Thompson Submachine Gun, serial number 12022, which was manufactured by Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company for the Auto-Ordnance Corporation between May 15, and May 20, 1922. This is one of the original 15,000 Colt Thompsons, which range in serial number from 41 to 15040.

Can anyone advise me if it is correct for an Auto-Ordance WWII Thompson M1 SMG to have the serial number in the range 123xxx? Also, would a war-time Thompson made by AO have the name on the rear right-hand side of receiver 'AUTO-ORDANCE CORPORATION' with 'BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT, U.S.A.' below it? I'm trying to confirm if this is a genuine AO WWII manufactured M1 or a put together one, and what year it may have been made. Are there other markings or features that might assist in confirming its authenticity? Thanks, Mike
