Jesse James Colt Single Action Army up for Auction

wasn't his mother known to have sold dozens of his supposed pistols well after his death?

I think it's likely Jesse carried various firearms during his life. It's widely purported that he carried a Colt 36 Navy revolver, an Uberti 1860 Army Conversion, and a Remington 1858 at points in his life. (Good reads on this found HERE and HERE .) Since posting the article this morning, I've learned Jesse's mother Zerelda is said to have traded many items that "belonged" to her son in exchange for services. (HERE) The genuine provenance of many, many of these items is questionable. Perhaps it's like that line from an John Wayne movie, "This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."

I'd call Pawn Stars,,, they have people that KNOW everything.


I thought Jesse was buried with his guns.
