WILD BILL HICKOCK
(Retail US$14.99)
James Butler Hickock, better
known as "Wild Bill", was probably the most famous
gunfighter of them all. In the course of his short
but flamboyant career he served as a scout for
General Custer, as Marshal of Abilene, and
generally gambled, prospected, and drifted his way
across the American West. He was finally shot in
the back while playing poker in 1876 in Deadwood,
South Dakota, by an despicable drifter named Jack
McCall; the cards he held showed two pair - Aces
and Eights - known ever since as the "Dead Man's
Hand".
These are unpainted
and unassembled metal hobby kits.
Unless otherwise noted, these kits are in the
International 54mm
Collectors Scale. Standing figurines are approx.
2-1/2" - 3" tall.
