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.
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.

I read in the biography of Elvis.." ELVIS WHAT HAPPENED?" ... ELVIS KEPT A FREEDOM ARMS FIVE SHOT 22 MINI REVOLVER IN HIS BOOT AT ALL TIMES! 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
Just another reason why Elvis is the King of Rock N Roll
That Python proves the King was the King
These are beautiful revolvers, stunning. Even the leather case is cool. God bless America. Love from England.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧👊

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
Excellent video guys!
Very nice. Those guns are priceless. I’m wondering what they sold for. Thanks for sharing.

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.

That's the problem. Elvis gives you a gun & you'll likely cherish it for life. Your kids etc? Off to the auction/pawn shop in an instant.

😝 You left out the baseline impetus of his "respect" for law enforcement and the 2nd amendment. The deranged drug fueled paranoia.
These type of guns are ugly.
Typical Elvis, tasteless and tacky. Shame as he was a great performer
