Placing this here since I have a COI with the cited source: Speaking to the value on the collector's market, there are 2 listings in this list from GunBroker.com: https://www.gunbroker.com/c/article/21-most-expensive-guns-sold-on-gunbroker-in-april-2024/ Item #16: Sold for 24,075ドル.00 USD on 7 April 2024, and item #2 sold for 46,125ドル.00 (also on 7 April 2024). I will add more to this list as they come up to give a clearer picture of average value in the current market. LoVeloDogs (talk) 22:57, 30 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks for doing this. But it's not clear what change to the article text you're asking for (if any)? I'm assuming there's either a text change you're looking for, or adding an additional citation, into the Collector Value section? ⇒ SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 22:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you for your reply! I've been adding these to various gun model pages in case it was of any interest to other editors who felt it may add to the article.

In this case, there are values listed under ==Collector interest== that align with what I provided, but they are not cited:

"An original Colt Model 1921 A or AC, Model 1927 A or AC, Model 1928 Navy A or AC, properly registered in working condition with original components can easily fetch from US25,000ドル to 45,000ドル+ depending on condition and accessories." LoVeloDogs (talk) 23:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Got it, added. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 04:48, 15 October 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

In the 1930s, when the Philippines was an American colony, Thompson SMGs were acquired for its gendarmerie, the Philippine Constabulary.
