We all know Elvis was a gun enthusiast.

Did he had a Luger, too?

The King has a good number of guns, as far as I know.
However, he had a preference for fancy-decorated handguns, kind of pimp-style. I have seen a picture of a Beretta Model 70 "Puma" engraved and with a gold finish and a Colt M1911A1 qith a kind of semi-precious stone grips.

Hey,

The answer seems to be YES: Big El had his Luger!

There is a picture of a case with four guns, the one on the left is clearly a Luger (inside a holster). Elvis rules, man!

Elvis also owned a Thompson Submachinegun.

Sounds like he fancied the BBQ gun.
