    ROCK ISLAND, Ill - Two of Elvis Presley’s lavish revolvers sold for world record prices in a May firearms auction hosted by Rock Island Auction Company. A highly embellished Smith & Wesson 19-2 revolver, clearly seen being held by Elvis in a period photograph, brought $195,500, and a similarly decorated Colt Python revolver sold for $172,500. Each price is a world record for its respective model. They were followed across the auction block by the King’s diamond and ruby studded Shelby County sheriff’s badge, the original Elvis-signed contract to purchase Graceland, and numerous personal documents also signed by Presley
