One of the howdahs pictured here, a Wilkinson 577. Also the Delisle replica by special interest arms in NV, a Tolley 5 dram 10-bore roundball rifle, and a Fausti 410 fitted with a set of 25-20 Win barrels from Ellis Brown and a 2x Leupold.

The Thompson is a 1928AC made in early 1942. From what I can gather the AC models were put together during and after the war from parts left over when the much cheaper to make M1 (w/the side cocking charging handle) was adopted.The costs dropped from around $225 to $70 with the M1 and then to $40 with the fixed firing pin M1A1, and as a result about 1.5M of the ~1.7M Thompsons were M1 or M1A1 versions.

When they put together the "AC" model they ground and overstamped the receiver markings "US Model 1928A1" to say "Model 1928AC" with the last "C" overstamping the last "1" and standing for commercial, but they were sold to law enforcement agencies. This one went to the Tennessee Highway Patrol where it remained until the early 1970s. It was blue printed and restored to like new by Paul Krough a few years back.
