A Rat Pack Revolver: Sammy Davis Jr’s Colt Single Action Army

UPDATE: Sold for $19,550, over its high estimate.

Few Hollywood stars of the 1950s can measure up to the talent and celebrity of Sammy Davis Jr. Proclaimed as “Mr. Show Business,” he was a fantastic performer both with his group the “Rat Pack” and with his individual acting and musical career. Not only was he a famous entertainer, he also participated actively in the Civil Rights Movement. Sammy Davis Jr’s legacy is one for the ages.

We have the honor of offering his highly embellished and inlaid Colt Second Generation Single Action Army revolver and his custom made holster rig at Rock Island Auction Company this September. This revolver is truly a piece of classic Hollywood history.
