A gun owned by Elvis
Presley sold for
$28,800 while a microphone used by Elvis on the
Louisiana Hayride
in the 1950s sold for
$15,000 at
Julien's Auctions.
Elvis gave the Walther PPK to Hawaii-Five-O star Jack Lord in 1973.
Tom Jones was once
left shocked when he
found Elvis Presley's
gun in his dressing
room lavatory. Jones
struck up a close
friendship with
Elvisand they would
often spend time
together when they
were in the same city
on tour. But on one
occasion, after Jones
appeared at Caesar's
Palace in Las Vegas,
he was stunned to find
a silver-plated Colt
.45 automatic pistol
on his toilet cistern
after Presley had used
the bathroom.
Jones tried to
discreetly hand it
back, only to see
Elvis shrug off
the incident. He says,
"I wrapped it up in
this towel, took it
out and said, very
quietly, 'Er, Elvis,
you left your gun in
the toilet.' And Elvis
just goes: 'Aw s**t
man, ma .45', and
stuck it in his belt.
I was trying to be
very discreet about
the whole thing, but
he couldn't have cared
less."
