From bbc.co.uk “ The tintype – an early form of photo using metal plates – is believed to have been taken in 1879 or 1880 in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. It depicts the gunfighter in rumpled clothes and a hat, gazing at the camera and holding a Winchester rifle. The tintype was bought by private collector William Koch. It went for some six times the estimate – making it the most expensive piece ever sold at Brian Lebel’s Annual Old West Show & Auction, said auction spokeswoman Melissa McCracken. “
