That’s a Hunka Hunka Hunka Blazing Steel

Quick followup to last week’s story on the auction of three of Elvis Presley’ guns, which went under the gavel yesterday. The results (all prices include buyer’s premium):

  • A Field King Boxed Semi-Automatic Pistol chambered in .22 long rifle went for $5,000.
  • A Savage Arms Model 99A Takedown .250-3000 caliber Lever Action Rifle went for $4,062.50. .250-3000 isn’t a caliber I’m particularly familiar with, so here’s the Wikipedia entry for it.
  • And the gun I highlighted, a Colt .357 Magnum Python Double Action revolver went for a hefty $13,750.00.
