Elvis Presley was an avid gun owner — when he died in 1977, the rock 'n' roll icon was reported to have owned 37 firearms, including one machine gun. He even had his own target practice range at his Graceland home.

If you take the tour at Presley's Graceland, you can see some of his most prized guns on display.

And now, you can own one of those guns: Presley's Smith & Wesson Model 53 double-action revolver — which was gifted to him in November 1976, just 9 months before he died — is going up for sale.

This was not just any ordinary gun that one could walk into a gun store and purchase — this particular weapon was originally manufactured in 1974, then returned to the Smith & Wesson factory in 1976 to undergo its transformation into a Russell Smith masterpiece, specifically for Elvis Presley.

It doesn't get more personalized than this: The revolver has a bald eagle holding a 13-star Betsy Ross American flag on one frame, a gold minuteman flanked by stars on the other frame, plus the Liberty Bell on the back strap. Even people who aren't gun collectors are expected to be trying to land this item at auction, as Presley was, and still is, an American icon.

The drawings and customization plans for the revolver are also included, as well as pictures of the gun taken at the time of delivery to the King.
