General George S. Patton famously gave his .45 caliber pistol to actor John Wayne. The gesture reportedly took place after Wayne visited Patton during World War II. The pistol has since become a notable piece of Hollywood memorabilia, symbolizing the connection between the military and film industry during that era.
