Not such a mystery, maybe. I bought a new Thompson 1927A1 Deluxe last year( the all steel model), for about $1200. Some tout the earlier Auto-Ord. models as being superior, though there is dispute about this. Collectability may be a factor--obviously no more of the Auto Ordnance examples will ever be made. But I'd think, for shooting, a new gun may be the best bet, with current support from the factory--which it turns out I needed for issues mine had right out of the box.
