PATTON OWNED PISTOL SELLS AT AUCTION

(AP) – A Colt .45 revolver once owned by General George S. Patton sold for
$75,000 at auction in Los Angeles Thursday.

Profiles in History, which conducted the auction, had expected the working
firearm to fetch over $60,000. The Colt .45 Model 1873 single-action revolver
with distinctive stag horn grip was acquired by the famous World War II general
around 1928 and remained in his possession until his death in 1945.
