The rusted Lefaucheux revolver, which was unearthed decades after it killed tormented Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh, goes on auction on June 19. It's lauded as the “the most famous weapon in art history". The corroded, legendary revolver was discovered in 1965 by a farmer in the field where the then-37-year-old Van Gogh was struck in the stomach in 1890. It is being auctioned by AuctionArt - Rémy le Fur & Associés at Drouot in Paris and is estimated to be worth somewhere between $45000-56000.
