I have, there's not too much out there to compare. but facial features look right to the ones i have, eyebrows look different then some. The beard does look weird, but its more the known color of his hair then his death photo. His death photo showed him having darker hair but they always say he had lighter hair. Then his finger is missing in the photo like some stories i have read about him.
 
There is only one known photo of jesse and it recently sold for over 2 million.
I've seen one of him as a young guerrilla, the one of him laid out in the funeral parlor, one of him and gang members, and at least one other. There's also a group shot of him and Frank and workers at a place they worked here in Nashville.

The guy in this picture looks like he'd rather not be having his picture taken. Very odd, esp. the beard.
 
I've heard that there were no fully authenticated pictures of Jesse James - but an internet search brings up quite a few! At any rate, none of them look too much like the photo presented. Perhaps it is of the fellow who always claimed he was Jesse James?

STUPID , STUPID, ME, LOL, when I saw the post somehow I was thinking Billy the Kid instead of Jesse. Yes there are several pictures of Jesse. My bad.
 
deleson1,

They have got one other of Billy - but it's not a solid for-sure-it's-him. He's wearing a fairly nice suit and looks like he's had a bath in the last week - looks a lot less brain-damaged, too! That other picture of him - that boy must have been taking his milk from lead-lined tins.

There are supposedly 5 or 6 pictures claiming to be him, but no other one has been deemed "authenicated". Now if it was me, knowing how much the documented picture brought, I would take the picture to some of the facial experts used in part to identify ex nazi war criminals. They can take a photograph of a subject and compare it to another based on facial measurements and angles. They use about 100 diferent measurements and then give a probability factor of the two being the same. Some police departments and some of the Vegas Casinos use these types of programs to find people using disquishes. Be well worth the cost if they can authenicate them.

They did that several years ago. The thinking now is that the one in the suit is perhaps his son. Yep, he may have had one. :smile:
 
That's what I'm getting now. Hmm. Well, ok! You mean Billy the Kid had a kid?

Possibly. Can't remember whether the mother was supposedly Pete Maxwell's sister or someone else. :smile: This is what I get for bringing up something I've forgotten the details on. Anyway, there was a suspicion that "suit" photo was actually the young man......I'll find this and post it sometime this weekend. :smile:
