Description: Santa Ana, CA: Graphic Publishers, 2015. First Edition thus. Two heavy, oversize, hardbound volumes bound in silver-decorated maroon leatherette, and housed in a matching heavy-weight slipcase. Comprising over 2,200 pages total, this final edition explains the various model designations; lists over 15,000 serial numbers; when, to whom and where the guns were shipped (including foreign shipments); their locations today (where known); plus Thompsons used by such infamous gangsters as Al Capone, Bonnie & Clyde, John Dillinger, "Baby Face" Nelson, "Pretty Boy" Floyd, "Ma" and Fred Barker, Alvin Karpis, and others! Plus the infamous guns shipped to the mysterious George Gordon Rourke and similar shadow buyers. Also included are Drum Magazines; U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Thompsons; FBI Thompsons; a biography of John T. Thompson; an extensive alphabetical index to both volumes -- and much, much more! This is the ultimate fulfillment of author and Thompson SMG expert Gordon Herigstad's lifelong dream: more than 2,200 pages of information about the legendary Colt Thompson Submachine Gun! (Sadly, the author passed away in April 2015, right after publication.) The books are an invaluable reference on this elusive subject, and are an instant collector's item in their own right! The set weighs 20 pounds when shipped. Cost of shipping includes double-boxing, over 13 feet of bubble-wrap, insurance and tracking.
