An original, heavy-duty industrial tool steel **Factory Marking Roll Die (Roll Stamp)** used to imprint the iconic logo, company name, and standard caliber designation onto flagship **Thompson Auto-Ordnance .45 Caliber Automatic** models. This authentic piece of factory tooling was acquired directly from the toolroom liquidation during the **Saeilo Manufacturing Industries / Kahr Arms** facility closure at 130 Goddard Memorial Drive, Worcester, MA.* **The Flagship Caliber 🔫:** Unlike niche alternative caliber runs, this die represents the historic heart of the brand: the standard **.45 Caliber Automatic (.45 ACP)** line used on their famous full-sized 1911-A1 pistols and historic long gun assets. This tool rolled the factory branding directly onto raw metal components under immense machine pressure.
* **The Thompson Script Logo 🖋️:** Features the vintage Thompson bullet/arrowhead script logo cut into the steel face, directly linking this factory asset to General John T. Thompson's design legacy. This is the ultimate conversation piece or display artifact for classic firearms purists.---## ✍️ HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE "A.G. RUSSELL" ENGRAVINGS
The top face of this die features pristine, deeply stamped custom workshop markings: **"A.G. RUSSELL HARTFORD, CONN."** alongside pattern layout code **"601"**.
* **The Elite Toolmaker Signature ✒️:** This serves as the certified maker's mark. Founded in 1946 by Avalon G. Russell, the A.G. Russell Co., Inc. was a boutique, high-precision tool-and-die firm that historically operated directly inside the legendary old **Colt Armory complex** in Hartford, Connecticut. This signature adds an elite layer of "Connecticut Gun Valley" industrial prestige to the artifact [A.G Russell Co., Inc.].
* **The Workshop Tracking Code ("601") 🗂️:** This is a custom shop logging number. Manually tracked under code 601, this represents an earlier engineering pattern allocation on the A.G. Russell shop floor, solidifying its chronological place in factory line history.---## 📏 PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS & SPECIFICATIONS
