If you would want an M1928 get Irichs. Its real wood, more historically accurate, and Its cheaper. I did a review of it on here if you want to see it. But I don't think it would be accurate for paras to have m1928, but I would need a second opinion and someone who knows what they're talking about.

The m1928 was issued in the eraly years of the war but by 1944 was largely phased out I would get a m1a1. Also since the m1928 was longer it was probley not as good for jumping with.

Well didn't the M1928 see combat in Sicily? How about Operation Torch?

The M1928A1 was used throughout WW2, they were never phased out. The M1A1 was introduced in 1943 as was the 30rnd Magazine as a cost savings and simplified manufacturing design (30 rnd mag to compensate that the drum does not fit on the M1A1). They were more common later in the war because more were made than the m1928A1. All US Army and US Marine M1928's were eventually converted to A1's which means deleting the vertical foregrip to the horizontal type. Both the M1928A1 and M1A1's were used in PTO, ETO and MTO
So... this means no Chicago typewriter (standard M1921 or M1928) for WW2 impressions unless British or Early US war

The M1928 Thompson was basically, I thought, what the british used. There was pictures of the British going against the Afrika Korps, and one had the tommy gun from the twenties. If its American Paratroopers they would have used the M1A1, or the Navy Overstamp (basically the M1928 with a stick magazine and not a pistol grip). I recommend the M1A1.

Either model was used in the ETO. The M1A1 was a simplified and cost 1/2 the price to manufactured than the m1928. The M1A1 did not reach mass production until 1943. The M1928A1 was just not as plentiful in numbers as the M1A1 but was used in the ETO by all U.S. forces until the end of WW2. 5th Rangers, 1944
