It appears Leeb is making the claim that no documentation exists showing that the photo belonged to Paulita Maxwell. Is there any real source of information about this? Im not convinced about this photo and this guy looks a bit too old in my opinion. Still, I have to admit there are some similarities. If it is true the photo is coming from the Maxwell family, it would be interesting to hear their story. Well one of her descendants runs the page, she seems to have acces to all of Paulita's personnal things. I will try and ask her today if im not too busy at work.

She has not answered me yet, but from what Ive read on her page its a photo 1 inch by 1 inch that was in Paulita's photo album that she owns. I doubt that she has documentation that comes with it so I guess its a dead end for now.

The photo that Mercury posted on the right, I think could be Billy, because if you look into his eyes, they are blue, but they appear to have those brown specks that Garrett, Severos Gallegos, and I think Jose B. Montoya.

Hm...there are so many photos out there stating to be Billy but there are so many guys that looked like him at the time...remember that he was roaming around New Mexico area for the most of his grown up time and perhaps there were not many photographers around...it is very possible that the tintype is the only existing photo of Billy that is. His ears are a bit special looking so it is easy to desmiss some alleged photos as mistaken or even genuine fraud. There are a paperphoto made of the tintype that lookes sharp and you can see the ears that matches and no restoring work has been done to them on the tintype. Some people say that the ears has been retouched and it looks not like Billy anymore but if you check out that paperphoto they looks about the same...and there is a drawing of Billy made from a tintype that Garrett took and it was printed in the police news in early 1881. That looks also a bit like the tintype as it is today so no big work has been done to restore it as some people states. The picture is a bit saggy though but it was made like a woodcutting type of print. But i guess you all knew about this already.
