Bonnie and Clyde Guns Auctioned Off For Over $500K

Two firearms owned by America's most notorious criminal couple sold for half a million dollars in RR Auction's first ever live auction held in Nashua.

The Amherst auction house sold Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow's pistols for $504,000 at their Gangsters, Outlaws and Lawmen auction on Sunday. They were sold alongside 134 other historic pieces from classic criminals such as Al Capone and Bugsy Siegel.

Bonnie and Clyde were shot to death by police in 1934 while holding the guns that were sold over the weekend, making the .38-caliber Detective Special and 1911 Colt .45-caliber automatic a rare gem for collectors.

Other items included the cosmetic case owned by Parker, which sold for $22,000, and a .25 Colt Pistol owned by Al Capone that sold for $12,000. The lawmen featured in the auction included the likes of Eliot Ness, whose ID card sold for $7,000, and photos of  Frank Hamer and his posse that brought down Bonnie and Clyde.

Many of the auction items came from one collector, Robert Davis, who passed away.
