JFK's Garand Up for Auction
Rock Island Auction Company (RIA), one of the nation’s leading firearms auction houses, is conducting a Premiere Collector’s Firearms Auction this weekend (Sept. 8, 9, & 10) in Moline, IL. Among the many valuable items for sale is President John F. Kennedy’s Garand rifle, issued to then Senator Kennedy by the Army’s Director of Marksmanship.
It is estimated JFK’s Garand will fetch $50,000-$100,000 at auction. That’s too rich for us, but it’s fun to view photos of the rifle and the associated historical documentation.
