  • The Rock Island Auction Company is one of the biggest antique auction houses around. They have garnered fame for auctioning unique and interesting firearms such as Theodore Roosevelt's Single Action Colt and many other pieces of history.
    They hold a limited number of auctions each year and often bring an exciting range for antique collectors and firearms fans all over the world. However most of us will never have the opportunity to own one of these exceptional pieces.
    Rock Island auction has broken records for some of the most expensive firearms ever sold, topped only by Bonhams sale of “the Gun that killed Billy the Kid”. A colt single action army that sold for $6.01 million. The price of these items does not do justice for the rich history and meaning that they carry with them.
    Without further ado Madman reviews presents the four most expensive firearms sold by the Rock Island Auction Company.

    Nice, I've fired an 1847 Walker-Colt {Replica} Its a beast, around 5 1/2 lbs and 70 grains of Black powder it was the .44 Magnum of Its day, If I had any of these, I would sell them and buy a new H.D. Super-Glide and ride, I'm not getting any younger and would rather be in the wind as opposed to sitting around and looking at these beautiful hunks on Iron.

    Just a short story.
    I personally own a very special (no, I won't name it here) handgun. I was told by a gun dealer the I probably should make it into a safe Queen and not shoot it. I told him that if I had a gun that I couldn't make go bang, I didn't want it.
    He sheepishly admitted that if he owned it, he'd have shoot it as well.
    Having said that, if I were wealthy enough to own any of the weapons mentioned in this video, I wouldn't buy them because I definitely wouldn't be able to shoot them.
    Have a great day gun people!

      A friend of mine owned a pawn shop and he called to tell me about a shotgun he had gotten in. It was a 1950 Browning Superposed in a custom case. I went to look at it and it was almost brand new. I haggled with my friend and he did owe me a few favors, so I got a good deal on it. However, I just couldn't bring myself to take it hunting, which is why I bought it. It was just too damn pretty! Anyway, I took it back to my friend who was more than happy to give me my money back, because he knew he could sell it for more to someone else. If I had scratched the fine finish on that gun going through the brush I would've been physically ill. Besides, my friend still owed me some favors again!

    They are all beautiful firearms, but I'd much rather have something like the gold plated Walther PP once owned by Adolf Hitler. Weapons such as the ones shown don't have any history that directly relates to me, where as something from the Second World War does. Then again, I'd love a nice modern reproduction of a Colt pistol with the beautiful colours of the case hardening on the frame, just for target shooting and fun! :D
