Cuhaj, Editor Thomas Michael, Market Analyst World Gold Coins With Platinum and Palladium Issues The same serial number 104347 is listed on the copy of the sales receipt when Bremmer purchased it from a gunshop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.International Grading Terminology and Abbreviations The right side of the frame is stamped with serial number "104347". Innamorati to FBI Agents Joseph Slaughter and George Sinclair. The left side of the frame has been scratched/etched with "RAI/5-15-72", which is the exact date the revolver was turned over by the Secret Service Agent Robert A. The pistol as noted is a very small, five shot pocket revolver with round butt. He died in September of 1998 from septic shock due to a bacterial infection. Later in life he completely renounced segregation and embraced racial integration. He later ran for the Democratic (or independent) nominee for President of the United States on four separate occasions 1964, 1968, (with then retired General Curtis Lemay) then in 1972 (where he was shot) and again in 1976. However, he was stopped by a Federal Court Order and the children were allowed in. In September of 1963, he attempted to do the same thing by trying to stop the enrollment of four black children in separate schools. To ensure that the schools were racially integrated, President John Kennedy ordered the 2nd Infantry Division to keep order and to enforce integration.
Probably the most infamous act that he is so well known for was standing on the door steps of the Foster Auditorium of University of Alabama in an attempt to stop the Federally mandated integration of public schools in the south. Governor Wallace was a staunch democrat and populist within the state of Alabama, who served four (non-consecutive terms) as Governor and who vehemently opposed racial integration and mandatory busing in the state. He was hit twice, with one bullet hitting his spine leaving him paralyzed for life from the waist down. In May 1972, Governor Wallace was on a campaign tour as one of the democratic candidates for the Presidency of the United States and was shot after giving a campaign speech in Laurel Maryland. It is also accompanied by a copy of the sales receipt from the "Casanova Gun" shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Bremmer purchased the pistol. This historic revolver is accompanied by numerous documents, police reports, hospital records and a 9 page Report of Investigation by the Prince George County Police, attesting the criminal act, verifying that this exact pistol was the one used in the assassination attempt. This is truly a very unique and certainly a "one of a kind" revolver that was used by Arthur Bremmer in the attempted assassination of then Governor George Wallace of Alabama.
