The .38 revolver used by Arthur Bremer in the attempted assassination of Gov. George Wallace on May 15, 1972. It was sold at auction for $28,750.
Now I start my diary of my personal plot to kill by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace. …How will the news associations describe me? An unemployed painter? An unemployed part-time busboy? A colledge (still can’t spell it) drop-out? … I have it. “An unemployed malcontent who fancys himself a writer.”

— Arthur Bremer’s diary, March/early April 1972
