Washington: A pair of historic firearms, which are believed to have been owned by the outlaws Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, have been sold at an auction for a total of 210,000 collars on Saturday.
The .45 caliber Thompson Sub-Machine Gun reportedly owned by the Depression Era bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde, CBS News reported.
The seller’s great-grandfather, who was in law enforcement, was given the gun after the weapon was seized in a raid in Joplin, Mo., in April 1933.
Though no arrests resulted from the raid, a cache of weapons and a camera - containing photos of the outlaws - was confiscated.
The Tommy Gum sold for 130,000 dollars.
Also sold was a Winchester 12-gauge shotgun, acquired in the same raid, for 80,000 dollars.
The auction was held by Mayo Auction and Realty. (ANI)
