The Capones gave their relatives everything from tea sets to pistols.

A .25-caliber Schmeisser pistol presented by Al Capone to Rudolph Pucci, a relative by marriage, is among the family-connected artifacts now at RR Auction.

The family also received an ornate tea and coffee service from Mae Capone, while vintage family photographs help document their connection to the notorious Chicago mob boss.

The pistol remained in the family for generations, with provenance supported by a letter from Pucci's granddaughter and a corroborating statement from organized crime historian John J. Binder.

Now up for bid at RR Auction. Closes October 14.
