Personal items linked to notorious British gangsters Ronnie and Reggie Kray, along with a firearm owned by fellow criminal figure “Mad” Frankie Fraser, are set to be auctioned in West London, with estimates suggesting the collection could fetch several thousand pounds.
Among the items to be sold are Ronnie Kray’s gold-plated cufflinks, crafted from mother-of-pearl, which are expected to reach around £2,000 at auction. Reggie Kray’s Persol sunglasses have an estimated value of £500, while his gold monogrammed tiepin could realize £1,200. Additionally, a deactivated Ruger 357 Blackhawk revolver once owned by Fraser is also part of the sale, carrying an anticipated price tag of approximately £1,200.
The auction is being handled by Sloane Street Auctions, located in West London. The items were initially sold by Ronnie Kray’s estate in 2014 but are now being offered individually to collectors. The combined value of the collection is estimated at around £6,000.
The Kray twins remain among the most infamous figures in British criminal history, known for their organized crime activities during the 1950s and 1960s. Reggie and Ronnie Kray were involved in a wide array of illegal enterprises, including protection rackets and violent confrontations with rival gangs.
Frankie Fraser, nicknamed “Mad Frankie,” was a prominent enforcer associated with the Richardson gang, known adversaries of the Krays. Fraser served 42 years in prison for various offenses, including violent crimes. His revolver being part of the auction highlights the enduring public interest in memorabilia connected to Britain’s criminal underworld.
The auction offers a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to acquire pieces associated with some of the most notorious figures of postwar British gangland history.
