TMZ is reporting that everything from his shotguns to civil war pistols are making their way to the auction block.
In total, 73 firearms will be available for sale, with some of them going for as high as five figures at the Julian's Auction in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 22.
There will be many 12 gauge riot shotguns available, as well as a Beretta semi-auto pistol, other revolvers, a Glock 17 semi-auto and a Ruger Blackhawk revolver .44 mag., adds TMZ.
Reportedly some of the cache were gifts from other celebrities and inscriptions are included on some of the handles. Also, reports TMZ, Jerry's initials are on some, and one even has his full signature artistically designed on the butt.
Despite being the comedic sidekick to straight man Dean Martin for many successful years and many movies, Jerry was actually a quick draw aficionado and known as one of the fastest draws in Tinsel town. He even gave lessons!

SW_Sig73 gun is a massive collection? Well, maybe by some people's standards.

casThat's it? Slacker.
Did he still have any of his quick draw guns, that was quite a fad in hollowed for a time.

hberttmankHe had some pretty nice guns, and some that were not. Several of them I own or have owned the same model. I had a Sterling 22 auto like his, it was a piece of shit. And the Ruger 44 is a Super Blackhawk not a Blackhawk. The prices don't look bad if that is what they go for.

The inscription on the back of the LeCoultre watch from Dean Martin was nice.
"Jerry My Buddy and Pal I Love You, Dino" The gifts from a wide array of celebrities, most of whom he outlived, were interesting to look at.

synthplayerHow potent could an army be with only 73 guns - most of which are hand guns? Talk about a claim that begs for eyes to roll!

drew3630It appears that old time Hollywood had a different view of guns than the modern version. It's hard to imagine any current Hollywood icon, with some exceptions, to have any kind of gun collection.

I remember years ago reading an interview with Heston and he claimed that Steven Spielberg had the most impressive gun collection he had ever seen. And according to John Milius and Robert Stack, Spielberg is an excellent shotgun shooter.

Mine was stolen by one of the ill-fated Spinal Tap drummers right before his fatal gardening accident. It's a mystery best left unsolved. Besides, you can't really dust for vomit.
