How much would you be willing to pay for a gun that once belonged to the famous Al Capone gangster of Chicago? Well, its sellers estimate that it could actually fetch a whopping £70,000 ($115,000) at auction in July. It’s a Colt .38, manufactured in May 1929 for the renowned mobster, just a few months after the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre which Capone had ordered.
Also at the auction a 44-40 Model 1873 six-shot single action army revolver that used to belong to Thomas Coleman “Cole” Younger will be sold for an estimated £85,000 ($140,000). Younger was a member of the James-Younger 19th century American gang of outlaws, together with Jesse James and others.
