Jerry Lewis - Gun Slinger

[Thor]

They are currently auctioning off Jerry Lewis' estate...he apparently had a decent weapons accumulation (and looked like he might have thought he'd need to defend his estate). https://www.juliensauctions.com/auctions/2018/jerry-lewis/index.html The projected pricing for the auction doesn't even seem to be too outrageous.

He also seems to have been quite the trick handler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=l7GZmxw21EA

Rules of safety be damned...

Wonder how a nightclub act with firearms would be seen today...

Interesting. Only a comparative few appear to be what we would think of as collectibles. Most appear to be "working" guns.

Interesting...

I wonder if this reflects the man of a different time, before guns became toxic by Hollywood (except for making money with) or if there's more entertainment types that have guns than we'd be led to believe.

L could not find any other picture of the gun but going back to the 70's Spielberg has Fabbri arms make him a custom O/U (They have his measurements) engraved with the theme of the film...I saw a pic of the Jurassic Park one once and it was awesome........Jaws one was too....

10. Pull!

Spielberg is an excellent shot with a shotgun. Actor Shia LaBeouf once said about his shooting, “He’s an Olympic shot. The hand-eye co-ordination of that man is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. If he weren’t a great director, he could be one of our greatest snipers”.

Mel Torme was a big time collector of the Colt SAA and Humphrey Bogart was another gun collector.

I (think) John Bianchi bought Mel's collection and it is now at the Gene Autrey Museum....His collection was considered one of the best SAA Colt Collections in the world...

the auction was last Saturday, and the projected pricing off, WAY OFF!!!!!!

some guns went for triple the estimated price, one was estimated for 1000-1500, and went for 5600! idk who "estimated" that a colt saa would sell for 1500 (even without the celebrity factor associated with it!), but if I were his boss, he'd be a "former estimator for juliens auction service!"

Still the best gun show on tv IMHO. Watching the one on the Garand right now.

During the heyday of TV westerns, a lot of big Hollywood stars really enjoyed cowboy fast draw competitions. Jerry Lewis was supposed to be pretty good, but Sammy Davis Junior was the fastest!

I would love to have won the driver's licenses and pulled one out at a traffic stop.
