Commando Mark 45

I have a Nickel Plated Commando Mark 45 could anyone tell me how to research the date of manufacture and point me in the right direction to ascertain the value,the gun is in perfect condition.I inherited the gun 15 some years ago and never really had the time to do any thing with it.Now I'm retired and looking for something to do.

Has anyone here heard anything about these "tommy gun" clones. A guy I know is selling one for $400. Good deal...bad deal?????

Does anyone know if a Thompson drum magazine will fit into the Commando Mark 45 (Thompson knock-off)?

I have a mark V that uses the thompson stick mags but I dont think the drum will fit.I'll do a little checking on gunboard and see if I can find out.

If I recall correctly, the Commandos used M3 grease gun magazines, not Thompson mags.
If the MK4 uses Thompson mags, I would think the stick mags are all that will work. Thompson drums attach from the side, not the bottom.

They WILL NOT fit.

It depends on what model mark 3 uses the grease gun mag mark V uses thompson mags. I have one of each model a III and a V
