Al Capone's gun for sale
A revolver that belonged to Al Capone could sell for £70,000 at auction next month.
The gun was made in May 1929, just months after he ordered the murder of seven of his rivals in the infamous Saint Valentine's Day massacre. The Colt .38 is being sold by a private collector and comes with an authenticating letter from Capone's sister-in-law.
