Gracos Kid Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Wonder if there is any way to verify the authenticity of this Colt SAA being the one used by Pat Garrett? Gun that killed Billy the Kid sells for $6 million (yahoo.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 If I had that kinda money I could think of better ways to spend it. Even if it's real. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 It's chump change to the people who have that kind of money to buy collectables. The problem for the hyper-rich is what to spend money on when you've bought all the houses, yachts, and cars you want. So collectables in all areas, art and artifacts of all kinds, are going through the roof, price-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right of course. I'd be drilling water wells in African villages rather than buying a gun I'm gonna leave behind when I kick off in a few years. Just me.

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 For that amount of money I would still doubt its provenance, even if it came with a letter signed by Pat Garrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Wilson Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Actually, the bullet that came from the cartridge that was fired killed Billy the Kid. The loaded gun was just the tool that Pat Garrett used when Billy was killed. Let's get our facts straight.....Wonder what someone would have paid for that bullet??

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hey Mo, if you have that kind of money I have some ocean front ski resort land for sale right here in Arizona. I can give you a good price on it and it's right in the middle of Earp, Holiday country, too. It even has some gold, silver, and copper mines on the property.

Brazos John Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Or, did the gun really kill Billy Barlow? Brushy Bill thinks so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 If I had that kind of money to burn, I'd buy a ticket on a Crew Dragon spacecraft. Or maybe on a SpaceX Starship, when they get one running. Wonder if the buyer is planning to shoot it? Anybody know what caliber the piece is chambered for? Wonder if the buyer is from the UK. and if they are planning to move it out of the U.S.? Be a shame, if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
