Well, I had to watch the whole movie tonight (The Highwaymen) since I hadn't seen it since it first came out not all that long ago. The Krag rifle did make an appearance in the movie. It was at the very end during the credits. A vintage photo of the real Clyde barrow was shown with him in front of the Ford car with a few guns leaning against it, including a Krag.

The picture shown at the end of the film appears to be taken at the same time and place as Whig's. But the guy in the film's photo was crouched down on his haunches, wore a solid suit and had a hat on. The guns were positioned in the exact way. I believe that the guy in Whig's photo was an accomplice of Barrow's.

The picture of Clyde Barrow, wearing a Fedora and squatting in front of the gun laden "V-8", was in the original post. (The "V-8" was stolen in Texas and has a Texas license-plate).

The pictured 'Barrow Gang' accomplice was "W.D." (William Daniel Jones), who was 16 or 17 years old in the photographs.

The Bonnie and Clyde Gang photographs were from a camera and several rolls of undeveloped film, that Police found at a Joplin, Mo. 'hideout', in 1933.
This was the scene of a violent shootout and a "large arsenal" of weapons were recovered. (Actually, seven guns:  four rifles, a 'sawed-off' shotgun, a revolver, and a BAR, I believe).

Later in July, 1933, the gang was in gun battles at Platte City, Mo. (Red Crown Motor Court - hideout) and 'Dexfield Park', near Dexter, Iowa, where larger amounts of military weapons were recovered.

FWIW - It is likely, the 'Gang's Krag' was recovered by Police at Joplin, Mo.
It is rather clear, the weapons preferred by the 'gang', in the later gun battles, were the BAR(s), sawed-off semi-auto shotguns, and 1911 Colts.

(BTW - Clyde was 25 and Bonnie 24 at the time of their deaths in Louisiana. Their crime spree lasted from 1932 to 1934).

(p.s. - God, their cars and 'digs' must have smelled really bad)!

BR, you are right, it was in the original post. When I looked back I didn't see the obvious bigger picture in between the two smaller pictures. I think we discussed this before, but when looking for the mayo in the refrigerator I will pick it up to look behind it not knowing it is already in my hand. Frustrates the aach out of my wife.
