LITTLETON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Two pistols found on the bodies of famed Depression-era outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow after they were killed by a posse in 1934 have sold at auction on Sunday for $504,000.
A snub-nosed .38 special found taped to the inside of Parker's thigh with white medical tape fetched $264,000 at an auction in Nashua, New Hampshire. A Colt .45 recovered from the waistband of Barrow's pants was purchased for $240,000.
The guns owned by Parker, who died at age 23, and Barrow, who was 25, were purchased by a Texas collector who wished to remain anonymous.

I'm sure that this wealthy Texan has plenty of other firearms at his disposal....

What part of "Rare Gun Collector" did you not comprehend?

I wonder if they still work? That would be exceptional.

Bonnie was a good looking criminal, I saw a 1911 Army Colt 45 dated 1905 - 1914 WW1 this past weekend, looks like it had been used quite a lot, very similar to the one sold to the rich guy in Texas. My friend got it off an old guy (about 90) for 700.00, worth around 2 grand.
