Not billy bonney , whoever that man is has attached ears , billys earlobes were detached but nice try !!

Billy the Kid and Doc Scurlock were supposed to be roughly the same height. There is clearly 5"-6" between the two you believe to be them.

nope

C'mon people ... With all of these supposed photos of Billy the Kid and company ... if they spent this much time getting photos of themselves how were they able to get away from the law that was constantly chasing them ? There is only 1 verified photo of Billy and that should stand !!!

I want some DNA evidence before I believe brushy Bill is Billy the kid! No offense!

looks like jesse james,black bart and kid sheleen

The one you say is Biily the Kid has a smaller chin.

Nice pic. Not BTK

There was no “O” in Tom’s last name. His middle initial was “o”

That dude in the middle looks nothing like the 2 authenticated photos of Henry McCarty.

The guy on the right , his hat is like Billy’s main authentic picture. Slant at the top, like the rough riders.

The kid was only like 5'8 looks too tall. How tall were tom and doc said to be?

No,no,no. Doc and billy were both 5'8", nice try.

Thats highly unlikely Doc. Look at the ear loobs of the known picture of him as as older man. His ear loobs are much larger and unattached. In this photo the man on the right has attached ear loobs. That feature never changes .

If that is real it has to be priceless. What a prize 🏆

Middle guy ears look like BB and the famous BTK photo . Cool video

I’ll take that photo for $1M. Where do I send the check.

I can do it, I will do it. Gimp is my best friend.

Wasn’t Tom meant to have been quite tall??

The only thing is Tom o follard was easily 6 foot tall if not more..so how could that be Tom when Billy was 5 foot 9

Hate to burst your bubble... but you are wrong on just about everything from a historical aspect! BTK (5'8ish) was NOT taller than Tom or Scurlock! PERIOD! And Toms last name was Folliard, NOT with an 'O!' The O was his middle initial! Tom was quite tall ...roughly 6 ft. Scurlock was slightly taller than Tom! AND FINALLY... Scurlock's buckle was NOT hit at Balzers Mill... Charlie Bowdre's was .... ... and George Coe lost his right index/trigger finger that day, and Richard Brewer was killed!

Tom Folliard was a big guy, bigger than Billy. That is neither Billy or Tom Folliard.

Red flag. Tom O'Folliard was tall. Keep trying to convince yourself. There's no prominence to the photo.

the tow docs are not the same person

Billy the kid was a woman, and Charlie Bowdre was Charles Beaubien Maxwell. Look up Julia Lonergan Rodriguez her book (The Secret Life of Billy the kid)

Ya have one. Had it for years. Simple. A bit wonky sometimes but does the job.

I don't know,,but it would be awesome if it was them,, I seen another pic I believe is billy and Tom, looked like they were dancing. Wish I knew for sure ,,

Now show me how to get it back in that little black bag 😂😂

My family are descended from the McCarty's in Ireland. The fact that he spelled it McCarty is a good indication that my family that settled in Nebraska were related by name. I look for family resemblances in these photos. I don't see it in the Brushy Bill photos. He just doesn't look like a McCarty. No offense. I do see the McCarty's in the other tin types however, and this as well.

One in the middle looks like brushy bill

The center guy, the boots he is wearing, there is a pair of boots that look an awful lot like those boots in the Fort Sumner Museum. They're in the Billy the Kid stuff just a few feet down the wall from the gun display where Billy's rifle is located. These boots are labeled as Billys boots. There are several videos in You Tube on this. Just type in Billy the Kids boots. I went and took a very long look of the boots Billy is wearing in the famous tin type (the 1st one) and man your guy sure looks like he's wearing those same boots.

I've been in Sandia Man cave, in placitas or Las Huertas New Mexico, pretty big cave.i think it's open to the public again, after the walk way to the entrance collapsed, it's up on the side of the canyon.

Can you share why you think it was at Sandia Cave? I love this photo. It looks like the real deal to me.

Nice comparison of the 3 👍

The belt height around the waist is bang on in my opinion 👌

Cool, I live a few miles from the cave

Great pic an of historical significance !

Wow… so cool. I read somewhere and I can’t remember where I read it but it was said that billy had a six gun with Pearl grips that he absolutely loved. I believe he bought it for 25 bucks if I remember correctly. It would appear the middle guy has that same gun…. Which is supporting evidence that this very well could be the kid!! I’m gonna have to find where I heard that from. I’m honestly thinking brushy bill said it…

The comparison of Billy with the man in the center of the photo is compelling. His posture; the way he stands, even his boots. The best evidence against the Brushy Bill claim is in the book The Real Billy The Kid, by Otero. The access Otero had to people that knew Billy The Kid personally is impressive. In the book, people that were the closest to Billy confirm that he was killed by Pat Garret. They even claim to have seen his body. This book was written in the 1930’s, well before Brushy Bill entered the scene with his claim.

Heard that Tom O'Folliard was a tall guy ? But it really looks like Billy

Thanks for the update on your research. Looks like Doc Scurlock to me. I saw that other photo. Wearing same style mustache. Look at his ears. They match. No one has the same ears. They're like fingerprints.

There is one other thing in this photo that seems to fit. Not a lot of people know that the Kid, most of time, wore hats that had big and wide brims almost like sombreros. Thats the first thing I look at when another possible Kid photo comes up.

Hello, I find that the Headstone is actually a map of Lincoln County at the 4way intersection..

It's reported that he had large wrist with small hands.

who ever the guy is in the middle has the same exact build and stand as brushy bill Roberts..it's amazing the resemblance. I am now more convinced than ever that brushy bill is indeed or was in fact billy the kid. This is an amazing find.

👍

multispectral imaging, look up companies who can do that, that would surely answer your questions

I'm intrigued by the 1,2,3 written in pencil on the photograph. I suspect that the names were written in pencil on the back at one time, but were worn off over time. If you have it forensically analyzed at some point, maybe they can detect this.

The asymmetrical eyebrows stand out to me, which a lot of people point out in the first tintype.

I thought it was Fox Cave that Billy used to hide out at? Is this a second cave?
