    $6 mil is a lotta cash for a Colt SAA.

    Granted it's one heck of a collector piece, but it ain't like it changed history.

    I would like to know how they proved the provenance of the gun. I guess the buyer never heard the adage, "Buy the gun and not the story".

    Generally speaking, about all you could actually prove is that Pat Garrett actually owned the gun, most likely from Colt shipping docs. Then it would be a matter of Pat actually and publicly saying or documenting in his time that "Yes, this is the gun".

    Whatcha all trying to say? You don't think Ft. Sumner IAD kept good BT records as a part of their OIS investigation?

    I think I remember reading Wyatt Earps widow sold several examples of the gun he used at the OK corral.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
