This was among the one's sent to russia under the lend lease agrement as part of the eqipment for inside the sherman and other tanks.( recovered 10 yrs ago from a salt mine in russia and sold to various dealer's )The M1928A1 had provisions for box and drum magazines. It had a Cutts compensator, cooling fins on the barrel, employed a delayed blowback action and its charging handle was on the top of the receiver. The M1 and M1A1 had a barrel without cooling fins, a simplified rear sight, provisions only for box magazines, employed a straight blowback action and the charging handle was on the side of the receiver. Over 1.5 million military Thompson submachine guns were produced during World War II.
