"Keep in mind that the tintype was believed to have been taken in late 1879 or early 1880.  I'm not too up on the timelines of Billy's outlaw career but when Garrett caught him at Stinking Springs, he lost his rifle to Beaver…"

"yes sir, this is an exact duplicate of the original, its in the same spot on Sam Bass' gravesite, but the original was removed due to people carving away at it and put in the round rock city libray"

"The best advice I can give in regards to collecting firearms like this is; there are always more. I spent months searching for the right 1873 Winchester for me- in the right condition and the right price. If I miss it then all I have to do is wait…"

Billy the Kid's guns.... does anyone know what happened to them, i couldnt afford them but i wonder if they ever became for sale, what would they go for?
