This Ingraham M-6 by Police Ordnance looks a bit like a Thompson... that was the point. Of all the lookalikes, these were among the earliest, and were the best quality - some would say better than the Thompson itself.

The M-6 was the sixth firearm designed by Gordon Ingraham, an open-bolt blowback, and dates back to 1949. Chambered in 45acp, it featured a "progressive" select-fire trigger pack (a half pull for a single shot, full pull for automatic fire).

The M-6 was designed to serve as a police and civilian SMG with a similar feel to a Thompson (familiar to returning US soldiers) but significantly less heavy, less expensive to produce, and less difficult to service. Unfortunately, a steady supply of WWII surplus would knock the M-6 off the law enforcement and civilian market in the US, and despite some foreign sales, the M-6 was discontinued.

Gordon Ingraham left Police Ordnance, and some 20 years later went on to market his 10th (& 11th) firearm designs, the Military Arms Corp M-10 and M-11 SMGs.
