However as a stone cold killer who killed eight men before he was shot and killed at the age of 21, he was probably a psychopath.

I was thrown by the old 1958 movie <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Left_Handed_Gun" rel="nofollow">'The Left Handed Gun'</a></i>, with Paul Newman which I watched as a kid. <br /><br />I have now edited by flipping the picture as you suggested, to align with modern historical views on the matter. I would have credited you, if you had left a name. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment.

The original pic was badly reproduced many-many times showing the Colt on the wrong side = left. Billy was right handed with guns. So you just have to do a vertical mirror effect to make things the "right" way lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033865397341905972.post-85029384749257276792014-05-03T17:57:11.381+01:002014-05-03T17:57:11.381+01:00Well at a cost of $2.3m I should hope so as well....Well at a cost of $2.3m I should hope so as well.No PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824446252611654550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033865397341905972.post-69246309157447500062014-05-03T16:41:26.353+01:002014-05-03T16:41:26.353+01:00Well, so long as it's the real Billy The Kid.Well, so long as it's the real Billy The Kid.Vroomfondelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502448843409791872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033865397341905972.post-4192223488137072252014-05-03T13:59:04.295+01:002014-05-03T13:59:04.295+01:00Look very carefully .... tree and backdrop are fal...Look very carefully .... tree and backdrop are false.
