Could This Be A Picture Of Famed Outlaw BillyThe Kid,

and Billy the Kid’s former friend and the sheriff who gunned him down?

 if so could the 19th century tintype photograph bought for $10 at a flea market really be worth $10 Million? back in 2011, a North Carolina defence attorney named Frank Abrams bought a 19th century tintype photograph for $10 at a flea market, He assumed that the photo, which shows five cowboys mugging it for the camera, was little more than a nifty relic from the Wild West, but as Jacey Fortin reports for the New York Times, experts now believe that one of the men in the image is famed outlaw Billy the Kid, who appears to be posing with the lawman who ultimately killed him, Abrams began to suspect that he had unknowingly acquired a historical treasure after he saw a 2015 television program about the discovery of a photo of Billy playing croquet, the picture was valued at around $5 million in 2015, according to Kim Vallez of Albuquerque’s KRQE News, a handwriting expert in Texas also matched a signature on the image to ten known samples of Garrett’s handwriting, reports Terry Tang of the Associated Press, experts say that the photo was likely taken at some point between 1875 and 1880. It is not clear how the image ended up at a North Carolina flea market, but Abrams tells the Times that he believes the photo once belonged to Marshall Ashmun Upson, a journalist who helped Garrett write a posthumous biography of Billy the Kid, the attorney has said that he has no plans to sell it, “I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world,” he tells KQRE News. “To find this is a privilege,” if only I could find a picture like that!
