Although he loved his fans he knew that there were nut cases out there despite his bodyguards insecurity he kept the five shot freedom arms mini revolver..in his boot.. one concert he was doing moves on stage in the Derringer fell out onto the stage luckily one of his security scooped it up before anyone could see it.. ELVIS WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL
The workmanship on those revolvers was as beautiful as anything I've seen on any firearm. European engraving, especially German and Austrian, is the same as their optics, second to none.

ROCK ISLAND, Ill - Two of Elvis Presley’s lavish revolvers sold for world record prices in a May firearms auction hosted by Rock Island Auction Company. A highly embellished Smith & Wesson 19-2 revolver, clearly seen being held by Elvis in a period photograph, brought $195,500, and a similarly decorated Colt Python revolver sold for $172,500. Each price is a world record for its respective model. They were followed across the auction block by the King’s diamond and ruby studded Shelby County sheriff’s badge, the original Elvis-signed contract to purchase Graceland, and numerous personal documents also signed by Presley
Never heard of registering any gun in the 70s, 90s yes with back ground checks some States required hand gun registering, mine still does not and has what is called constitutional carry.
I hope these guns show up in the upcoming Elvis movie by Baz Luhrmann (hell, considering how the guns were decorated in his "Romeo + Juliet" it'll be even more disappointing if they don't)
Not one treasured item goes with the owner/makers to heaven... only ownership during lifetime. Nothing goes with us, only what we've done on earth of our teachings an what we've seen/learned.
Well...if I was rich, I'd also have custom engraved weaponry. Some would be AR's, AK's, M14's, 1911's, .500 S&W's, L1A1's/FAL's....a lot. ...and those are beautiful weapons. Absolutely beautiful.
I heard Elvis wanted that sheriff badge.but the sheriff didn't want to give it up. So Elvis told him that reelection is coming up.elvis sad he would run for sheriff. That's how he got it
I believe it I've known railroad workers that's had way more in there basement all to pass away and the sons to sell off but I guess the dad realized that would happen possibly even intended them to
The Grips appear to be IVORY. It is supposed to be 'illegal" to sell Ivory. I am not in favor of such a law, but I "inherited" some jewelry that I could not "sell" as it was ivory. I could GIVE it away, which I did, but could not sell it.
The Sad thing in this clip is we all see most of the time thath 2 boys .....we see Tham speaking more than we see the = GUNS => we enter the clip to see GUNS .!!!! And NOT 2 Fat old boys speaking ....
How Much did they get 4 the guns
Elvis' Colt Python brought $172,500 and his Smith & Wesson 19-2 brought $195,500.

What ??
Elvis was a class act real down to earth guy. So many stories of his generosity and kinds acts.
I read that he did a concert to help with the Arizona Memorial and did not want his name on a donor list explaining that folks might think his effort was about him and not the Arizona.
How could anyone ever part with those revolvers, they're priceless?
Jim Dent I know, I would make at least one of them my concealed carry pistol.
They aren't priceless. They have a value to them everything does and most people do.
Bobby Crow maybe to assholes
He's dead

Just another reason why Elvis is the King of Rock N Roll

if one of these somehow got handed down to me and i'd ever get is serious money trouble, i'd be a bum with an elvis revolver.
id keep it its so damn pretty hah
Agreed lol
Financially opposed, couldn't be a bum with that pistol in your holster!
That’s what makes you kinda deserve it

These are beautiful revolvers, stunning. Even the leather case is cool. God bless America. Love from England.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧👊
Thanks Dad
Thanks my English friend
@@cowboywoodard2569 you are most welcome. 👍

That Python proves the King was the King
Those guns are absolutely beautiful. I had no idea he had such incredibly good taste in gun mods.

1/2 the rounds fired from these guns were at TV's.
Ask and ye shall receive. th-cam.com/video/my_Z7BdYAzI/w-d-xo.html
And his DeTomaso Pantera. That copped a few rounds through the door one morning when it did not start.
@@johnrandall125 Cocaine and waffles breakfast.
Learned alot here. Always liked Elvis I had no idea is respect for law enforcement! Good going guys
Absolutely incredible
Now videos like these I can watch because they are fact and not fiction. Thanks for posting this,
It's our pleasure. :)
This was a nice gun to talk about by gunjesus Ian.
As cool as it gets awesome in every way !!!!!
Guuuuuaaaaauuuuu me enamorè de esas piezas!!! Cuanta belleza junta!! Y saber que fueron de Elvis....bueno....ni hablar!!!!!
I think I agree
GUDNESS ME... *THESE ARE REAL WORKS OF ART!!!*
Wish I had my license...
These are *THE KINGS HIMSELF?...Well,even if I DID have my license and sold my house...it probably wouldn't be enough to get all of these...my Gudness Gracious
Whew. Those are beautiful. There is one story about Elvis getting heckled in traffic. He pulled a derringer on the people.
Very nice. Those guns are priceless. I’m wondering what they sold for. Thanks for sharing.
172k and 195k dollars
Thanks for sharing 😮 legend
No doubt about it, the King knew bling!
I would imagine if that gun could talk, it would sound like Elvis.

I own a 1963 Smith & Wesson 19-2 Combat Magnum!
The King needed some big guns and this is why he loved high powered handguns like these.
I wonder what pistol Elvis used to shoot out his TV when Robert Goulet came on ?
The one in his hand.
Excellent video guys!
I think those are out of a collection in Reno at the truckstop. The used to be a 76 now I think it’s a TA.
I wonder how many tvs he shot with those revolvers
Great for shooting TV sets!
Fun fact , that Colt Python has a Cameo in the Elvis movie with Austin Butler .
Wow what beautiful revolvers ! Hope I’m related to new owners.
I wish Ian from Forgotten Weapons had done a video on these.
I suspect he may not be an Elvis fan.
How can you not be an Elvis fan?
... but he is a gun fan.
Elvis was the coolest.
Anyone know what this set sold for??🤔
It's in the comments ....
Elvis Presley loved shooting television, it was fun for him at the Hilton Las Vegas hotel.kkkk
Elvis just loved stuff
I own a 1981 Colt Python. His is older than 1977. But what year?
Pra quem morreu no trono FOI O REI
Hi Joel!
Bawnjorno!
He had so many cool things.
It's sad but all that should stay together Hopefully one rich guy buys Them all
wow gorgeous revolvers, i´m Danish we´re not allowed to own firearms the same way as you guys in America, did Elvis own other firearms?
I would die with those guns on me!
I bought a S&W Model # 27 over a Python back in the 70's
Never heard of registering any gun in the 70s, 90s yes with back ground checks some States required hand gun registering, mine still does not and has what is called constitutional carry.
Illinois started foid cards in 1968 I believe
Very few states require registration. Only 4 or 5.
How much to hold it? Twenty five dollars a minute? Three dollars a minute if you want to look at it.
Be nice to hear Elvis sing Live This Summer...One Of My Favorite Song is.."IF I COULD DREAM".61421tqr.
Do you have to grow a beard to work there?
It helps.
That python though 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome pistols thank you!
I hope these guns show up in the upcoming Elvis movie by Baz Luhrmann (hell, considering how the guns were decorated in his "Romeo + Juliet" it'll be even more disappointing if they don't)

Elvis had more than two handguns.
Pretty 🤩
Only fitting. The Embellished King of Rock had the Embellished King of Revolvers.
I want that S&W🔫 the colt is cool to but I'm a S&w guy.
Cool beans.

Im in love
... and most people can't hit a broad side of a barn.
Excuse me.....I need to go listen to some Elvis hits.....
They say that Elvis Presley had more than 250 guns I don't know if it's true or a lie, when it comes to Elvis Presley I believe that it had.
I believe it I've known railroad workers that's had way more in there basement all to pass away and the sons to sell off but I guess the dad realized that would happen possibly even intended them to
I would pay 500k for that collection
Didn't know he had guns!! :)
Quite a few actually. Loved to collect as well as shoot.
Buzzard the arms enthusiast Elvis' life was threatened, he at times went on stage wearing guns in his boots. I kid you not.
He was an American that lived in the 50s of course he had guns.
@@lilianvantrappen4947 most of the time he had at least one or two tucked in his boots on stage.

Luckily The Elvis didnt pay off with gifts . . .
The real prize is the .45 Elvis gave Nixon one time.
I believe that's still housed at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA.
He's Tricky Dick from Yorba Linda hes the genuine plastic man.
Talk talk talk

Popular these days because Rick grimes carries one on the walking dead
Its a shame you didnt include Ian in this video
i would never ever sell them
These are guns Elvis gave away.
Di verdade
WWWWWOOOOOWWWWW

Wait, wait.. You can not show those beautiful guns without Ian!!! You will soffer the wrath of Gun Jesus!! :P lol
I like your channel.... but your double ads you cant exit out of makes you look cheap... im just sayin.........
Elvis who?
Colt Python = Rick Grimes = The Walking Dead = popularity!
Would have took that gun to my grave
😝 You left out the baseline impetus of his "respect" for law enforcement and the 2nd amendment. The deranged drug fueled paranoia.
the king of pie eating that"s about it
Typical Elvis, tasteless and tacky. Shame as he was a great performer
These type of guns are ugly.
