    This is a cool tintype of a pair of men both posing with pistols one of the men also wearing leather gloves. The Tin is a little over 3 inches tall.

      Great tintype!

      I'd call it men with pistols-- nothing to suggest that they are "outlaws". It was popular to have photographs taken with weapons in 19th century photography. These images have a strong collector following.

      Thanks Scott I was just using Outlaws to Grab attention. I agree back in the day people all carried weapons so it's not that unusual but a great image.
