According to "Public Enemies" (The book, not the fictionalized movie ) his was a .380.
I just read that page last night  ;D

Doesn't matter much as it didn't come out of his pocket in time to prevent the .45 that went through his skull!   ;)

Caliber is insignificant when it remains in the gun!  "An weapon unused is a useless weapon!"

Nice find. How did you happen upon this? What did it cost? What are you going to do with it?

First off ................. I'm going to shoot it! After, not sure. Some guy wanted a medium caliber handgun, and I had an older Taurus revolver. He offered to trade a couple of items, that I wasn't interested in. Then, he offered this. Next thing I knew, it was mine. It's a little rough, but it is 90+ years old. Hell, I'm a little rough, and aren't near that old.  ::) He claimed it shot well, just shot it a couple weeks ago. I'll find out soon enough.
