    Well there is “that” Walther LP 53. https://www.christies.com/LotFinder/...8-4f9ffc12f86f

    (Disappointing that they did not list it as lot 007)
    Morally flawed

    Jack Osbourne with his skan? Kinda vintage nowadays.
    Airforce airguns with Ton Jones? Same 'vintage' as the skan.

    Well...depending upon how far you are willing to stretch the definition of "famous"...!

    For several years I owned the Anschutz 335 that had belonged to Jess Galan. Jess wrote the airgun column in the annual "Gun Digest" book series throughout the 80's and 90's, and many other magazine articles. He helped create a lot enthusiasm for the sport in the US in those days.

    I believe there is a Mk1 Webley air pistol on display at Little Dean jail crime museum (also Quadrophenia display etc) that once belonged to the Krays.
