Talk:Bonnie and Clyde (2013)

Clyde Barrow was born in 1909 and Bonnie Parker was born in 1910. They were children/teens in the 1920s, and each died before age 25. Their crime spree and time on the Public enemies list spanned from 1931 to 1934. They weren't particularly active during the "Roaring Twenties."--Ruzhyo (talk) 16:44, 29 September 2013 (EDT)

The Colt Detective Special wielded by Bonnie is a postwar model,as evidenced by the smooth,rather than checked, cylinder latch.Also prewar Detective Specials had short ejector rods,short enough that the knob would have likely shown in this shot. The "New Service" that Bonnie is aiming is actually also a postwar Colt, an Official Police Heavy Barrel; note the ramped front sight and single screw on the side of the frame(prewar Colts had a screw and bolt,which looks like a pair of screws side by side).Even if a prewar Heavy Barrel OP had been used, it would still have been anachronitic as the HB version wasn't introduced until 1935, and Bonnie was killed in 1934. 21:20 7 October Tecolote
