Neat. There's a couple of rifle attributed to him. This 44-40 sold for 46.000.00. https://www.proxibid.com/Firearms-Military-Artifacts/Firearms/BUTCH-CASSIDY-44-40-WINCHESTER-MOD-1892-CARBINE/lotInformation/32789904 This one is reputed to have been found where they were killed along with some quilts and letters to Butch. A modified  Whitney Kennedy .

That's nice AZ6Gun. Just pulled a quote from NBC News Article supporting your picture. $175k. that was in 2012. Wonder what it would go for now?
"This image provided by RMK Services shows a Colt .45 SAA revolver that belonged to Robert LeRoy Parker, better known as Butch Cassidy, the legendary bank thief, train robber, and leader of the Wild Bunch Gang—the notorious Wyoming-based bandits that stalked the American West throughout the 1890s.AP"
