Seems like a VERY low price to me.

Dillinger's body is put on display for the public before its burial.

It may be just a mask of the guy they claim was JD, hence the reduced price. Melvin was never the same...

There was a guy at the Nation’s Gun Show who had a box of Herman Gohring’s personal cigars — the box, the bands, all had his name and crest on them. This guy had TONS of amazing stuff (a Field Marshall’s baton, for example). He only wanted $2,000 for the cigars.

I would have paid that.

I’m kind of a Dillinger afficionado.
