The Golden Closet Newsletter/Blog November 2009
The Golden Closet is pleased to announce the addition of several exciting new entertainment memorabilia items now available to collectors through our website. Detailed information can be found at the links below.
Fans of the epic gangster film “Scarface” starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana now have the opportunity to own one of the most iconic weapons ever seen used in motion picture history! This item is the legendary “SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND” replica grenade launcher used onscreen during the final gun battle sequence at the end of the film:
SCARFACE – Tony Montana (Al Pacino) “Little Friend” Grenade Launcher used in final battle sequence
Also available is the actual Zabala shotgun used by “The Skull” character to kill Tony Montana at the climactic ending of the film when he is shot in the back and falls from the balcony into the fountain below beneath the “The World Is Yours” statue. The weapon was modified to fire blank rounds only and is in very good screen used condition:

Michael Jackson fans now have the opportunity to purchase several unique items worn by the recently deceased King of Pop. The first item is a custom tear away jumpsuit that the singer wore during multiple stage performances of The Jacksons 1984 farewell “Victory Tour” and was also featured on the cover of Newsweek Magazine:
