Auction of Al Capone’s heirlooms rakes in a ‘shocking’ $3.1 million

A once-in-a-lifetime auction of Al Capone’s personal effects, including his “favorite” gun, garnered more than $3.1 million — four times more than what the Sacramento-based auction house expected.

More than 1,200 bidders registered from all 50 states and several countries participated in “The Century of Notoriety: The Estate of Al Capone” Friday night. Several dozen flew into Sacramento to attend the invite-only live auction, which was closed to the media.
