[excerpts]

St. Louis City Police are auctioning off a series 29 of 1920's era Tommy guns. The guns valued at over $750,000 are stored in a police vault; they are also part of one of the largest Thompson submachine gun caches in the country.

'The duty weapons that our officers carry have reached the end of their useful life; we need to buy new weapons for our officers. Budgets are tight and we had to be creative.’ said Dotson

The guns are a perfect buy for collectors, but getting your hands on one won’t be easy. Buyers must obtain a Federal Firearms License before bidding.  

Gun prices can range from $15,000 to $40,000.

At this point no sale date has been set, but officials say the guns will go on sale sometime within the next year.

That's a fairly substantial addition to the national inventory!

 

I bet they go for much higher than expected.

Yep , I know of no one who will be able to afford one ( personally ), they will go very high $$$$.
