Interesting article about a rare tintype of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett at link below. Apologies if you saw this elsewhere.

Interesting and lucky find for Mr. Abrams. I often look at old portraits and antique postcards at fleabmarkets as well, hoping to find something like this. It never happens that I buy any or find anything interesting, though. I know one thing, I'd keep the tintype or donate it to a museum like the Smithsonian, or perhaps a museum about the Lincoln County War, if there is one there in NM.

Fascinating.  I love to see old pictures of legendary people. Billy isn't quite how you imagine, after seeing him portrayed in the movies by good looking young actors, but portrayals of Pat Garratt appear to be more accurate.    That moustache was something else!!
