It isn't the M-1 owned by JFK, or even the .25 Colt owned by Jerry Garcia.

I'd love to have Jerry Garcia's .25 Colt. JFK's M1 Garand sold for $149,500 last year.

I have a small collection of historic firearms, mostly from the WWII and Cold War eras, but I never really succumbed to the lure of "celebrity" guns: too rich for my blood. The one that does pique my interest is Nelson Mandela's Makarov pistol, which has yet to be found.

I have no interest in a Kel-Tec pistol owned by George Zimmerman. None whatsoever.
