Famous Celebrity Guns to be Sold at Richmond Auctions

GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Richmond Auctions is excited to host a multi-day Firearms & Sportsman Advertising Auction on November 15 and 16, 2024, featuring a collection of legendary "celebrity guns" from Hollywood's most iconic actors and films. This auction will feature nearly 600 collector firearms and 400 lots of antique outdoor advertising and collectibles.

One of the auction's highlights includes Steve McQueen's famed Winchester Model 94 Eastern Carbine, a powerful symbol of McQueen's rugged on-screen persona. Known for his roles in classics like The Great Escape and Bullitt, McQueen's connection to this Winchester Model 94 makes it a unique collector's item for both firearms and cinema enthusiasts.

Another standout in the lineup is Robert Montgomery's Winchester Model 21 Custom Side-by-Side 20-gauge shotgun. Montgomery, a prominent figure in early Hollywood, was known for his versatility across both acting and directing. This shotgun not only represents a significant piece of firearm craftsmanship but also carries the unique history of one of Hollywood's most respected actors.

Patrick Wayne's Colt New Frontier "John Wayne The Duke" .22 LR Single Action Army Revolver, inspired by his father, legendary actor John Wayne, is a tribute to the Western genre. This revolver is a rare opportunity for collectors to own a connection to two generations of Hollywood royalty who brought the spirit of the Old West to life on screen.

Lastly, the auction will also feature a pair of custom-made Colt 1860 Army revolvers, created as props for the film, Wild Wild West. These two revolvers were crafted specifically for the 1999 blockbuster starring Will Smith and came from the World Famous Stembridge Collection.

"This collection brings together some of the most iconic firearms associated with the silver screen," said Jordan Richmond, Owner and Founder of Richmond Auctions. "Each piece holds a unique story that combines the worlds of Hollywood and firearms, offering collectors a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a tangible piece of entertainment history."
