The title says it all! This Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver is documented by serial number as purchased by the “King of Rock n Roll.” Elvis had a real-life penchant for shooting TV sets, and we thought it would make the King smile for one of his revolvers to take up its old pastime.
In 2017, we auctioned his highly embellished Colt Python for $172,500, as well as a similarly decorated S&W 19-2 for $195,500. What will Elvis’ much simpler Model 36 bring at auction?
