Re: Billy the Kid?
It could be but I sure wouldn't pay $5,000,000 for it.
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.
Re: Billy the Kid?
Agreed . . . $5,000,000 would buy alot of leverguns and ammo lol

The guy pointing looks a little like Paul Newman ...
Re: Billy the Kid?
Thank goodness I logged on as I just got a copy for free. Tell the guy I will sell him my copy for just $1,000,000.

Re: Billy the Kid?
That's a low-res copy. It looks like maybe a schoolhouse. Swing in front. Lots of little ones in stand-by mode. No visible firearms. I'd like to see details of the others, but this image doesn't enlarge well enough. I wonder if any of the others have been identified.

Re: Billy the Kid?
I think that the man pointing could be Dick Brewer (Richard M. Brewer) was killed at Blazer Mill by Buckshot Roberts.
Roberts shot Brewer through the eye with a .45/70.

Re: Billy the Kid?
"FRESNO, Calif. -- A collector bought a photo at a junk shop in Fresno, California, for $2. Turns out, the guy on the left of the photo is the infamous outlaw, Billy the Kid, playing croquet.
Photos of Billy are extremely rare-- experts say this one could be worth $5 million..."
I don't live too far away from where the find took place. This area holds quite a few little known secrets from the days of the Old West.
Interestingly enough, I still possess (handed down father to son) a couple of dozen .45 Colt 250 grain XTP bullets that Billy the Kid used to load his Single Action Army. I am hereby offering them for sale at the fair price of $1,00 each, never been used. Quite a bargain for a piece of history.

Re: Billy the Kid?
Apparently, they identified four other individuals in the photo, and historical records gave them an event at the locale where all 5 would have been at the same time.

Re: Billy the Kid?
Maybe I'm spittin' sour grapes, but of what use to history is the knowledge that Billy the Kid played croquet, and why would anyone pay $5M for proof that he did?
:lol

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Re: Billy the Kid?
Far as I know, prior to this, there was only one authenticated photo of B the K. So, I guess any photo of him would be valuable no matter what he was doin'. I would have paid $6M, but it was sold before I found out about it!FWiedner wrote:Maybe I'm spittin' sour grapes, but of what use to history is the knowledge that Billy the Kid played croquet, and why would anyone pay $5M for proof that he did?

Re: Billy the Kid?
One of the folks in the documentary, to these eyes well done, identified the lady to the right of the pointing man as Sarah Chisum. The image was made by a crack photographer, is in good condition, will inspire debate and research for years and invites us to step through a just opened door. Who's goin'?

Re: Billy the Kid?
It isn't so much that it's another pic of the Kid, but it's the only known pic of the Regulators... Or as some would say, Billy and his gang..
