So I was correct. The one they think is Billy the Kid doen’t look anything like the man identified as him playing crochet, to me at least. But then I would really need to see side by side photos of the two. Also the one they identified as probably being Billy the Kid is the only one who clearly does not have a mustache. All the rest look as though they could have some degree of a mustache. I say could because it may be blemishes or some other reason that make them appear to have mustaches., but Billy the Kid is clearly clean shaven under his nose. 8>) Interesting photo though for sure, and if I had bought that tintype it would be guaranteed that they could not substantiate it being Billy the Kid. 8>)
I thought serious doubt had been cast on the croquet photo (the figures were all very small).
And the HPD forensics specialist also made a bum call “authenticating” a purported Robert Johnson bar photo (that looked out of era).
