H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Three million for one gun? I doubt if even a custom made left handed Spencer in .38 S&W that is gold plated would cost that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Now you know why Pat Garrett was killed. They wanted his valuable pistol. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Kid Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I've always thought it was pretty funny the old story around fort Sumner was Garrett really used a double barrel shotgun. Someone pays big bucks for a nice old colt and it probably was there that night. But at the same time a good old hammer double someone probably payed $100.00 for is the actual gun used that night and they have no idea. Just like Charles Winsteads 1911 (used on Dillinger) someone has it and doesn't even realize. Gives you something to think about when you get old guns.

Old West history does not disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Interesting story... We met JP and Starr Garrett, became friends. JP is a or the great-grandson (I believe) of Pat Garrett. His family was divided, as you can imagine. I was honored to sing at their wedding. JP succumbed to cancer shortly after, and Starr moved to Texas. Nice folks, and interesting stories were told.
