Did you look at the ears....the second pic is not him. Couldn't be. The photo that we all know as Billy doesnt appear to have attached earlobes (it seems clear to me anyway), the 1rst of the questionable photos doesnt have attached earlobes, and the 2nd DOES have attached earlobes. Earlobes do not spontaneously unattach, i assure you. On that note, it doesnt matter anyway, as i can promise you that the questionable billy photos are NOT of the same person. My money is on the first photo being billy.

The first one could be...I have no ideal. Looks enough like him, but im no expert. The declarations of authenticity say alot.
The second one is absolutely NOT him. Being a nurse, I studied the human body in college, and something I found amusing was the UNATTACHED and ATTACHED genetic trait in earlobes. Billys are undoubtedly UNATTACHED, while the second of the questionable photos are undoubtedly ATTACHED. Unless someone got really ****ed and detached his poor earlobes later in his life, this just couldnt be Billy.
Thought someone might think this was interesting:D

I agree with you. There is also a photo I don't
see here on the cover of the book, "The Capture of
Billy the Kid." This is by James Earle. You would
think someone could authenticate some of these.
I know they have found someone who has authenticated several new photos of Jesse, using
the same technique used in the documentary on
Discovery.

I find it hard to believe that the two photo's are Billy the Kid. Mostly because of the facial features that should match but do not. There is one photo out there, that it is said to be Billy the Kid's son and according to forensics, the facial features DO match. Sometime's I wonder if that picture could actually be Billy the Kid at a different age and not his son!?

There is a picture on crimelibrary.com which is used on their Billy page (I think it's around page 7). it really does look like him... well at least I think it does.

The second picture of the "kid" IMO is not him. The ears are attached . in the origional tintype of the kid his ears are not attached, also look at the Eyebrow area as u grow your eyebrow tends to stay the same.

The second photo, I believe is not william H Bonney IMO . BUT i could be wrong , like i said he has non- attached ears

if u look at the two pictures of the tintype you can see stunning similarities that the other two pics are possibly the same person . possibly the kid

So the second one is fake? I only know that 'classic' foto about him is a real one, I did not find any other 'real' picture material jet...
