REMINGTON 11 Model 11 Bonnie & Clyde Whippet

Overview

This is likely the cleanest whippet on the market!Remington Model 11 - The Iconic "Whippet" ConfigurationOwn a living piece of Prohibition-era outlaw history with this legendary Remington Model 11 manufactured between 1918 and 1920 according to the serial number. Modified into the infamous "Whippet" setup made world-famous by Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Story has it that Clyde customized a shortened Model 11 specifically for Bonnie, cutting down the barrel and stock so she could conceal the terrifying firepower beneath her coat or dress and deploy it in a heartbeat-hence the name "Whippit." This was Bonnie's gun of choice and multiple were found in their car upon their final demise. While Bonnie preferred a 20ga, Clyde was more favorable to his in 12ga. This example captures immense beauty as the finish is in remarkable condition! The bluing is deep and full, markings are crisp. This gun is a century old but looks like it was made this year. He barrel is also matching to the receiver! A rarity with this platform. It remains fully operational-just feed it heavy-loaded shells to cycle that classic long-recoil Browning action, and feel the sheer power of true 1920s firepower in your hands! This is a must have, and a perfect time to buy as Bonnie's Whippet goes to auction this week and is expecting to fetch millions.
