Brendan,
Congrats on your byf 41, what a great rig! I am also pleasantly surprised to learn that there still are parts of the British isles where you can actually own live guns. How many hoops did you have to jump through in order to accomplish that?
I hope you get that M1928 Thompson, I also have one - it was in the first batch of 10,000 Thompsons bought by your people in 1940. I also have two WW1 Lugers that came out of the UK during WW2, you can read more in this thread:

Good luck!
