SHERIFF PAT GARRETT’S COLT SINGLE ACTION WHICH HE USED TO KILL BILLY THE KID, JULY 14, 1881, AT PETE MAXWELL’S RANCH. An iconic piece of history from one of the most important events of the early west, Sheriff Pat Garrett’s yearlong pursuit of the notorious Billy the Kid. Now part of the American mythology, Garrett’s friendship with the Kid, their mutual respect, and his subsequent hunt, capture, escape and death have become the stuff of legend. The subject of hundreds of songs, films from Cecil B. Demille to Sam Peckinpah, and books, not to mention Aaron Copland’s opera, casting the Kid as both villainous outlaw and unsung hero fighting for justice, the story of Billy the Kid has woven its way into the American imagination. As early as 1929, historian J. Frank Dobie noted, “… because his daring apotheosized youth—youth in the saddle—youth with a flaming gun—and because his daring kept him running and balancing on the edge of a frightful precipice … Billy the Kid will always be interesting, will always appeal to the popular imagination” (Dobie, A Vaquero of the Brush Country, Austin, 1998, p 169). - https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2021/07/26/auction-colt-billy-kid/

Karl Jobst dropped a video about companies that are propping up video game collecting at the moment with million dollar prices going to cartriages. I don't know if that is what is happening with Billy's Gun or someone legit bought it because he wanted it so much. It just makes me question how much it's really worth when it sells for multi millions and world record headlines.

Guns gotta be cursed.

Himmler's Walther PP came up for auction at Rock Island Auctions a few years ago. Brownells did a video on it.

That's a cool way to get haunted for sure!
