Thompson - 960814-3
Colt Patent Fire Arms Company in Hartford, Connecticut manufactured this weapon for Auto Ordnance Corporation, New York, N.Y., in 1921. This is the rare 1921A model, no "Cutts" compensator. Very nice wood, all correct, with the original barrel. The Waukegan Police Department, Waukegan, Illinois, originally purchased the weapon. As you can see the weapon was tastefully engraved with the police department's name on the right hand side of the receiver, just above " Auto Ordnance Corporation".
