The Praying Hands Pocket knife

This knife is in a local antique store, and the tag states it was found at Ft. Sumner, no scales, and as you can see the old pocket knife has seen better days.
Any guesses on the price they are asking for this item?

Picture was taken with a camera phone so not the greatest!

I'll throw out a guess, $350.00?

If it was Ft. Sumner, NM, they probably found a way to link it to Billy the Kid.

$400 was the asking price of this relic... It is neat looking but I can't say I could spend that money on a knife in this bad of shape, with no evidence of any historical significance.

Just another cheap knife in a antique store with an inflated price.
By the way Pallidin, Hico Texas takes a lot of credit for Billy the Kid items. They even claim he is buried there.

Seems like someone had a DNA test and Hico lost out on that, didn't they?

The people in Hico don't recognize DNA tests. That's because all of them have the same DNA.

there is a little known theory amongst southwest historians...that 'billiy the kid' was not killed due to his being a crazed murderer...but because he was rather fond of married catholic ladies...
so it is possible everyone in hico is related to mr. bonney.

( he was killed in a married woman's bedroom.)
