All the gear you need for successful Mall shopping ... The Thompson is a nice touch, frequently overlooked !
Always thought the "suicide" shifter was on the left side.
They must have run hot, to warrant that much leather on the lower leg.
It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

I shot a Tommy gun a LOT many years ago as a range officer at Buffalo Rock Shooters supply in Ottawa Illinois before it blew up, burned down killing Sparky, his daughter and a couple of employees.
It is the ONE class III gun I wish I had purchased before the total insanity got to prices. I would still buy one today if one in decent shape came at an affordable price.
The Tommy gun was a lot of fun, my gosh I remember the hours of casting 230RN bullets and loading the tens of pounds of Unique powder, six grains at a time, consumed by the Tommy gun during the fun times we had running "scenario" matches.
Even after shooting it all weekend it never missed a beat and just kept on firing. We oiled the top pad in the receiver with 30WT motor oil every 500 or so rounds and it just kept on going bang.
looks like a flat head to me
