Auction Feat. Guns Once Owned by Presidents Gerald R. Ford and Theodore Roosevelt

The Rock Island Auction Company will hold a premier auction in May, featuring firearms once owned by Presidents Ford and Roosevelt.

President Gerald R. Ford once received a gift of one of the finest guns ever built in America, the Winchester Model 21. This is a dream gun for any collector and if you partake in the auction it could be yours for somewhere between $130,000 - $250,000.

You can't get much more American than these two Browning Model 1885 Bicentennial Rifles. The craftsmanship and the America-themed engraving make these an extraordinary find for the serious gun collector. Ford was given the pair during the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976. These could be yours for somewhere between $75,000 - $130,000.

Another bicentennial gift Ford received in 1976, was the above pair of Ruger 30-06 Rifles. I think what I have learned so far is Presidents get some cool gifts. These beautiful rifles are expected to fetch between $40,000 - $60,000.

If you are a gun collector, you may want to wipe the drool off your face after you read the description of this beauty: This is number 19 of 25 made Colt Turnbull John Adams & Son Signed Engraved Silver and Gold Plated Theodore Roosevelt single action army revolver with carved grips and case. This one may be in your price range of $6,000 - $10,000. By the way, that is real silver and gold.

This Hawken .70 Caliber Half-STock Percussion Buffalo Rifle comes directly from President Theodore Roosevelt's collection. If you squeeze the trigger on this auction piece be prepared to load up $55,000 - $85,000.
