Buffalo Bill's Mystery Winchester

Buffalo Bill was quite possibly the most famous American on earth when he passed in 1917, and thankfully, the life of such a legend remains wonderfully documented today.
However, in 1880 he presented a classic Winchester 1866 Yellow Boy to a man known as "Panther Bill." Who was Panther Bill and why can't collectors find the answer in William F. Cody's thoroughly documented life?

Given the "Bill" portion of "Panther Bill", I think we can assume W. L. to be the initials of Mr. La Scott's first and middle names. In that case, A. D.might very well be the initials of a job title that would lend a clue to his occupation.

Agreed and that A.D. might be for Assistant Deputy (US Marshall) of which there were some
