2008 Drawings & Contests

John Dillinger Print & Tommy Gun Round

 

(An Indiana FNRA Exclusive)

 

This beautifully framed and matted print includes John Dillinger's Wanted Poster and fingerprint record.  More uniquely, it also contains a Porter County Sheriff's patch and certificate of authenticity for the .45ACP bullet and casing fired from the 1927 Thompson submachine gun that Dillinger stole from the Lake County Sheriff's Department when he escaped from their jail.  The gun had been borrowed from the Porter County Sheriff's Department.  After Dillinger's death, the gun was turned over to the FBI, who kept it until the Porter County Sheriff's Department requested its return in the late 1990's.

Fifty of these prints are being made available, and the winner/buyer of each print will be entered in a drawing to go to Porter County and fire the Thompson (under the Sheriff's supervision, of course!).
