HANS Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Sorry, that's not Arizona "Kate" Barker. I've tried for years to find out who it was, but she bears no resemblance to the real mother of the Barker brothers. Also, despite fervent attempts of the FBI to "credit" her with being the real head of the Barker-Karpis Gang and even having shown her boys how to operate a TSMG (!), practically all serious researcher concurr that she was nothing but the mother of career criminals. The FBI tried very hard and persistantly to deflect the blame of having killed an unarmed old woman -- she certainly didn't "battle to her death." She was trapped with her murderous son in a flimsy summer house into which 16 FBI agents fired hundreds of rounds until the agents forced the hired help to break down the door and go inside to check whether anyone was still alive.

john Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) First pic posted.Look out the window behind "Ma"......I see a 1990s Ford Econoline camper van parked in front of a 1970s style home.Or at least that's what it looks like to me? And shouldnt that gun have a nice bright bolt?Maybe its just dirty.....That actuator doesnt quite look as delicate as a Colt part either....more like a '28A1? Anyone else? But the "ladies" sure are not looking very lady-like!! Edited May 13, 2022 by john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertord Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 It is a Model Gun Corp. (MGC) Thompson. The two screws in the top of the receiver next to actuator slot, ejection port contour, bolt, barrel fins, etc., are a giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted May 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Before Nina Jankowicz condemns this thread as "disinformation," the Daily Mail did indeed claim this women as being the Ma Barker without any sourcing as to the authenticity of the person in the pic only that it was at one time posted on Wikipedia. As far as the prop TSMG.... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2191821/House-legendary-gangster-Ma-Barker-shot-dead-hour-gunfight-FBI-goes-market-1million.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorcar Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Has the appearance of a mannequin prop in a museum with a prop gun. Agree with the van in the background also. As for ugly, the current cabinet position wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirtyround Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 "May be the ugliest woman that I've ever seen." Apparently, you have never met the late Ms. Madeline Albright. That woman would make you jump out of your shoes without bending your knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
