A Colt .38 revolver which belonged to the notorious Chicago gangster Al Capone is up for bid on June 22 at Christie's in London, and it could fetch up to £70,000 or $115,000 according to a press release from the auction house: "Colt records indicate that this pistol was manufactured in May 1929, a significant date in Capone's life – the same year as the famous St.Valentine's Day Massacre. At that time this would have been amongst the most reliable and concealable handguns available."
