Famous Hollywood guns used by John Wayne, Steve McQueen go up for auction in South Carolina

Richmond Auctions is set to host a multi-day Firearms & Sportsman Advertising Auction on November 15-16, 2024, in Greenville, S.C., featuring nearly 600 collector firearms and 400 lots of vintage outdoor advertising. The highlight of the event is a collection of legendary “celebrity guns” from Hollywood’s most famous actors and films.

One standout piece is Steve McQueen’s iconic Winchester Model 94 Eastern Carbine, a symbol of his rugged on-screen persona from films like The Great Escape and Bullitt. Another rare find is Robert Montgomery’s custom Winchester Model 21 shotgun, a nod to his influential Hollywood career. Additionally, Patrick Wayne’s Colt New Frontier revolver, inspired by his father, John Wayne, will appeal to collectors of Western memorabilia. The auction will also feature custom Colt revolvers from the 1999 film Wild Wild West.

“This collection offers a rare opportunity to own pieces of Hollywood and firearms history,” said Jordan Richmond, founder of Richmond Auctions. The auction will be open to both in-person and online bidders, with detailed information available on the Richmond Auctions website.
