The silver-plated Colt .38 Special Al Capone bought in 1939 is for sale for $95,000. Dealer Gary Zimet, who lists the revolver on MomentsInTime.com, said the historic pistol was inherited by Scarface’s brother, Ralph “Bottles” Capone, who got his nickname because he distributed beverages in Chicago. The Brooklyn-born Capone — who orchestrated the 1929 St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, which wiped out the Bugs Moran gang — was the wealthiest and most powerful organized crime boss during Prohibition, but his career ended with an eight-year stretch for tax evasion. – NY Post
