Elvis Presley's gun permit application for sale Authenticated set of Elvis fingerprints in existence for £75,000
The black ink prints are on a gun permit application for the state of California, completed by
Elvis in 1970.
The form, signed Elvis A Presley, requests permission to carry a Colt 38 revolver and a Beretta 7.6 automatic. It contains confirmation of his sex, hair and eye colour, height, weight and date of birth and a full set of fingerprints from both hands.
Such documentation was required in every state Mr Presley visited, because he always insisted on being armed. It is a particularly rare piece of memorabilia because gun license forms are normally destroyed after the applicant's death, in
1977. It also has what are believed to be the only full set of authentic prints
of Elvis
