[Theo Sulphate]

Mr. Whiting of Spalding, UK, has an interest in U.S. outlaws and spotted this tintype on eBay. According to two analysts it appears to be a genuine photo of Jesse James.

Color me skeptical. And sad that Will Dunniway is following in Patrick Alt's footsteps getting into "authenticating" images of questionable provenance.

Well, I wish him luck on making his fortune.

Personally, this excites me whether it's authentic or not. I love history, and especially historical photographs.
