Thanks for the pictures.

That picture of Billy the Kid is always interesting in that a lot of people over the years have said that he was left-handed, due to the holstered pistol on his "left side." Except ......

The Kid was right handed. That picture is "flipped." Note the loading gate on the Winchester's right side of the receiver. Winchester didn't make their rifles with the loading gate on the left side of the receiver.

Also note that the Kid's belt buckle is in the position for a right handed man to cinch his belt.

No matter. Still an interesting picture of Billy the Kid.
