OAN:
The gun that killed American Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid doubled the presale estimate and sold for more than $6 million at an auction in Los Angeles. On Friday, Bonhams auctioneers said the cost single-action revolver was bought over the phone by a person who wished to remain anonymous.
“This is the gun that killed Billy the Kid. It’s one of the best documented antique firearms of the American West,” explained Director Catherine Williamson of Fine Books and Manuscripts. “We’ve estimated it at two million to three million dollars.”
Bonhams described the gun as “the most iconic treasure of early western history” and added the $6.3 million was a world record for any firearm. more
The gun did not kill Billy the Kid.
Nope. I could buy something nice from a custom shop and still have almost 6 million for ammo.
No. The gun USED to kill Billy the Kid.
Words still have meanings and there is no sense feeding the Marxist narratives
Where is the BULLET that killed Billy the Kid?
Also: He needed killing.
And I got nothing.
Well sure. It’s in 44-40. Ammo is still plentiful.
“cost single-action revolver”?? I’m not a gun guy, but wouldn’t that be ‘Colt’??
Haven’t heard from FDR in Hell for a while. Maybe he could update us on Billy the Kid’s status?
Billy didn’t sound like a nice person.
+ Some people have more money than brains.
IIRC Colt SA 44-40
I met a guy who bought every Colt SA he could get his hands on the 1940’s. In the 1940’s you couldn’t barely give them away. Had a large well stocked gun shop in Billings in the 90’s. Rumor had it he also stocked up on silver coins before they no longer were circulated widely and held them for decades. He was quite wealthy, but last I heard was serving federal time for tax evasion.
The “Kid” was still a better person than Hunter Biden.
I own a few in Long Colt. My fav weapons.
