SHERIFF PAT GARRETT
THIS IS A NEW TINTYPE PHOTOGRAPH WE HAVE ADDED TO OUR COLLECTION. WE BELIEVE THIS IS A PHOTO OF SHERIFF PAT GARRETT AND AN UNKNOWN MAN POSSIBLY A DEPUTY. GARRETT WAS THE MAN THAT SHOT AND KILLED BILLY THE KID. SOME PEOPLE SAY HE AMBUSHED THE KID.

OUR GARRETT COMPARED TO KNOWN PHOTO
DUE TO THE DARKNESS IN OUR TINTYPE WE COULD NOT SEE THE DARK AREA OF HIS FACE IN THE PHOTO. WE ADJUSTED THE BRIGHTNESS IN THE KNOWN PHOTO TO SEE HOW THE LIGHT FELL ON HIS FACE THERE. THIS HELPED US ESTIMATE THE CHIN SIZE IN OUR PHOTO.
KNOWN PHOTO WITH CONTRAST AND BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTED TO COMPARE TO THE LIGHTING ON GARRETTS FACE IN OUR PHOTO
WE COULD NOT PULL OUT MORE DEFINITION OF THE STAR ON HIS CHEST THAN WHAT IS SEEN HERE. IT HAS THE SAME SHAPE AS HIS LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF BADGE.
