Lot 106 – WW2 US Naval Training Center Grouping (4) – Thompson Submachine Gun

WW2 US Naval Training Center in Sampson, NY. Paper and Photo Grouping (4) Thompson Submachine Gun. The lot consists of an original 1944 dated graduating class photo with several sailors holding Thompson’s, this is very uncommon as all the other similar photos I have seen never show them holding any weapons. The photo measures 8 X 10 approximately. The second item is a personal photo of the sailor in a cardboard holder which would have been mailed home form the base measuring 5 X 7 1/2 approximately. The third item is a copy of the Bases News paper – The Sampson News also dated 1944 in excellent used condition and finally an original WW2 large jacket patch of the bases insignia and name measuring 5 1/2 in diameter approximately and being made of printed wool (I believe), all items in excellent condition some showing minor soiling from age.
