The weapon at the center of this picture is a .44 Hopkins & Allen revolver, 1873 model, which the caption links to Jesse James, the Missouri outlaw whose gang robbed banks, trains and stagecoaches after the Civil War. James was shot and killed in St. Joseph, Missouri, in April 1882, and in the decades that followed, objects tied to his name drew steady public curiosity. This print dates to about 1921 and bears a 1921 copyright notice from Mesco Pictures Corp.; its caption information is old and unverified, so the link between this gun and James should be read with that caveat.
