I noticed bumps on the rim of billy the kids ears, I wasn't exactly sure what I bwas seeing on his left ear, so I looked at his right ear, there werebumps on that one too, iIlooked on the internet on what disease tthat might cause this, but first I looked up his mom antrim she had tuberculosis, it causes bumps on the outer rim of your ear,
I was trying to see if brushy bill bwas one bin the same and brushy doesn't have these bumps on his ears,,,, not at all... Just wanted to let you all know what I found..

Are you seeing that on the one and only tintype that can be proven to be the real Billy, or are you looking at some other so called "authentic" photograph?

I pulled up the first photo that comes up in a google search and that particular image has been retouched. If you look at one that is not retouched you will see spots all over the image. These dark spots are a result of aging of the photo which was a daguerrotype photo, also known as "tintype". Someone tried to edit out those spots using computer software and they just didn't bother to remove all the ones along the edges of the ears. In fact, there are some errors in the way the retouching was done on the image I think you're looking at.
I'm not saying you're definitely wrong, but I do have my doubts whether you're seeing something that was on the original image before it aged.

Here's a copy of the tintype I believe represents what it looked like before the aging caused the spots all over it and without any computer editing to the image. I found this online but it is rarely seen.  |

Sorry Wild Bill but I just really don't see anything on his ears that is anything other than distortion in the photo.

Its okay,
Can you tell me about Milnor Rudulph , he seems to be in everything, i only know he was the justice of the peace and also did bonnets death certificate twice at tthe request of pat garret, to suit him better,
This would be the only question I had about billy the kid, I've seen the movies and documentaries I've never really questioned anything, of course there is suspicious activity of all involved, ive always thought of billy as a hero like in a kids way playing when i was a kid as cops and robbers, Now that i am older i see many things perhaps billy was a good guy involved in all of this, i dont look for proof, only promise, for a sense that there are good in all men, and that billy was actually a hero.

Has anyone ever compared the ear patterns of Brushy and Billy the Kid"? I've read that these patterns are unique to the individual.

i've read that professionals like the FBI etc never use ears to identify someone in photographs. I see the bumps the guy was talking about and that could be a thing called Juvenile spring eruption which usually happens in kids and we know Billy was premature or whatever because he had peach fuzz on his upper lip months before he died or he was a lot younger than what we think. However these bumps go away so it doesn't matter and also i can see the same white dots going around the lower brim of his hat near the same area.....it's an old messed photo.
