I stumbled across this interesting article about a photo found of a supposed Billy the Kid lounging on a rock with two guns believed to have been taken in New Mexico, I apologize if it had been posted or discussed before? The article is four years old so it wasn’t just discovered. Scrolling over on top of the page it shows a rock found in the area where it was believed to have been taken and when visually compared it does look similar? And if you look close you can barely see his teeth, or it may be a light blemish on the photo? His rifle isn’t in the photo kinda odd if Billy always carried it around. www.santafenewmexican.com/life/features/is-two-gun-billy-the-real-mccoy/article_cb7ba27a-c3a3-5c9a-a371-5013dcf6fd49.html |

Actually 3-gun Billy ....he officially left the Lincoln Courthouse with two .44 Colt pistols from the armoury and unofficially -Bell's .45 Colt which he placed in a tree during his escape.Brushy mentioned leaving a revolver in a tree and only a matter of weeks later-grabbing two revolvers on hearing gun shots over at the Maxwell House -what price the same two .44's and the same man.

Garrett and one of his deputies stated a 'self-cocker'was recovered from the victim in Pete Maxwell's bedroom...this extra ordinary side arm was later auctioned off to the County Clerk in the presence of Siringo -along with a saddle and rifle said to be BTK's..why the alias and fancy gun? No history yet notches on his gun...reality caught up with Miller and wthout BTK's survival skills -he became no more than a pathetic target for Garrett as had Charlie and Tom ..

.....Kip Mckinley was on guard when Garrett fired two shots in Pete Maxwell's bedroom.Of the three Lawmen - he had the most experience and immediately fired two aimed shots at a figure that appeared carrying two guns.Although Pat Garrett would claim he killed BTK - Mckinley would eventually claim he shot BTK ...two gun Brushy ..incapacitated by head wounds fired for effect and withdrew....no one was going to follow him -the Lawmen withdrew into the Maxwell home for allround defence and eventually sent Pat's sister in law as an intermediary to prevent any further bloodshed.No one but BTK would know of such a scenario...no one but Brushy ever claimed this is what happened...

Interesting. On what page of which book is this found?
Of course, if this intervention by an intermediary existed only in Brushy's imagination, it would have been impossible for anyone else to claim this happened.

It was recorded after BTK's escape from the House - that only 2 Colt .44 s and their gunbelts were missing from the armory....Brushy mentioned having two pistols when he went to investigate the Maxwell house....definitely 2-gun Billy-
whether that's him on the rock -the gun looks like an early side swing double action (no ejector housing) from early 1900's -perhaps the neck tie suggests this time frame as well ?
