gunhistorian Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Found two sites that have a couple of nifty photos of M1921 TSMGs (with type C magazines). These are from the "notorious" Charlie Birger gang in southern Illinois. Sorry I am unable to paste them or to capture the photos for pasting here. Maybe one of the more savvy folks can help out! http://thesouthern.com/news/local/gangster-guns-the-weapons-of-charlie-birger. And: http://Histoicjail.com/?page_id+15. I had never heard of Birger and his gang and found the photos interesting -- to say the least. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCM Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm not to up on Charlie Birger, there is a couple pictures with the gang, this one and one of them piled on a car. Another has Charlie Birger on the gallows, smiling, just before they hanged him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note my typo: should be historicjail.com. Hope y'all enjoy 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
