Famous Portrait Of The Iconic Outlaw Billy The Kid Tintype is Up For Auction In Denver

Is he a southpaw? The belief was not placed rightly. He, Billy the Kid was a famous outlaw. His iconic portrait is up for sale this weekend.
The image is a tintype and probably taken around 1879 or 1880 in Fort Sumner, N.M., showing the gunslinger with a Winchester rifle in his right hand and a Colt revolver holstered on his left is thought to be the only surviving depiction of the man also known as William H. Bonney.
Please remember tintype images are reverse. So forget the idea that Billy was a lefty. But it was widely believed. Many still believed so. The misinformation was so widespread that Paul Newman played the outlaw in the 1958 Western "The Left Handed Gun."
The portrait is set to be auctioned in Denver on Saturday at the 22nd Annual Old West Show & Auction.
