This rare first edition of Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind” was used to conceal a .32-caliber pistol.
It was found in 1941 by the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona then sent to the FBI for examination.
Firearms examiners compared test bullets and cartridge cases from the gun to similar samples but could not identify the weapon or match it to other evidence.
Published in 1936, this copy of the book resides in the [FBI’S] Laboratory Division’s Reference Firearms Collection in Quantico, Virginia—the gun housed in its 1,037 pages.
