Homer van Meter - member of the gang - the 1907 was his favorite - apparently with a Thompson-like forearm and Cutts compensator along with at least a 10-round magīaby Face Nelson - used one to kill two G-men when he was mortally wounded in 1934 - apparently there is mounting evidence that Baby Face's Thompson jammed and he then picked up a Lebman-modified 1907 to kill the two Gmen on the night he was mortally wounded. Little Bohemia Lodge - a 1907 was left behind when the gang scattered during the shootout Eddie Green - member of the gang - found a 1907 in his apartment after a shootout in St. So just how popular was the 1907? The following is what I have see thus far about who used this rifle for good or evil in the 1930s:ĭillinger gang - 2 found at the Congress Hotel and 1 in JD's car when they arrested him in Tucson about the 1907, it seemed like everything I read had something about how both lawmen and law-breakers used the rifle before WWII but with few details.
