I'm being asked to appraise 3 NFA thompsons today, problem is I know jack shit about them. Just looking at what they're going for online.
>1921- ~40-50k
>1928 ~20-25k
>1928A1 ~25k+
Does this seem right? Are there any models I might run into I'm missing, I only know that one of them is a 1928 and nothing else so I'm kinda flying in blind. Help me out here /k/.

Also how much does the condition of the finish affect the price on these? +/-

Why? You seem to not know anything.

Just like real estate is location, location, location, firearms are all about condition, condition, condition. The overall fit and finish will greatly affect the price of a gun.
Look at high end auction houses like James D Julia and Rock Island and see what NFA registered Thompsons sold for. That might be a starting point.

Why don't you admit you don't know and not fuck someone over

My friend got a auto ordnance 1928 two years ago for 16k. But it had seen a lot of rounds and had quite a few scratches.

Why are you appraising things you know nothing about.

You aren't qualified to interpret condition into value.

What are these three Thompsons? Could you post pics of them?
