SCARFACE

NOTORIOUS mob kingpin Al Capone's pistol has fetched more then $100,000 at auction, according to auctioneer's Christie's.
The $107,337 price is more than the $95,600 paid by a California collector for a pistol that once belonged to Depression-era gangster and bank robber John Dillinger and highlights the continued obsession with the onetime king of the Chicago underworld. 
Capone's empire was worth millions of dollars, raked in from illegal booze, gambling and prostitution, until his reign ended in 1931 he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and prohibition charges.
After serving almost eight years behind bars he went into seclusion on an estate near Miami, Florida, where he died of a stroke and pneumonia in January 1947.
