Bidding surge expected for 'Hitler's gun'

A rare German gun that may have belonged to Adolf Hitler is commanding $13,000 (€10,800) at an online auction today, but the price could at least treble before bidding closes on Thursday, experts predict.

The Krieghoff Drilling shotgun/rifle engraved with the initials “A.H.” had netted only eight bids after a week on the US auction block, but the listing on www.gunbroker.com also has drawn nearly 4,000 viewers.
