It is a very rare opportunity indeed. We are referring to the James D. Julia Auctions in Fairfield. Well, now is the time to actually get hold of some historic firearms that we heard of in tales and folklore only; you know the guns and pistols that onece belonged to the infamous of all men John Dillinger, who also was on the most wanted list with the FBI.
This exhibition has an impressive display of items than belonged to Dillinger. There is a Belgian Kncukleduster Revolver with an estimated price ranging between $7,000 and $9,000. Again, the 1968 Browing pistol might interest you more owing to the gold trigger at $2,500-$4,500. The famous Colt Navy Flask has a price range of $2,500-$4,500. But the most exciting indeed is the rather morbid death mask of John Dillinger.

It is our fascination with death, perhaps, that makes us view everything from the eye of destruction. Like connection cheese cake with Frankenstein, we make gross associations that appear almost insane in retrospect.
The Paillard Bolex H8 Military gun is a weapon that you wouldn’t want to choose when you are in danger, because instead of shooting bullets this gun can only shoot videos. With a camera attached, the gun was apparently made for a Vietnam War reporter. The rare gun would definitely have placed the reporter in more trouble instead of helping him out of a dangerous situation. The camera attached has 5x lenses so you would be able to shoot some pretty good pics with this little weapon.
