I hope there is some very strong proof of the claim.

Supposedly killed Billy the Kid. No proof. If I remember correctly there wasn't even a death certificate for Billy the Kid.

[Major Tom]

Didn't Billy show up alive and well years later?

The auction house that handled sale of the gun that sold for $6M had to have been convinced that they were backed up by an iron clad trail of ownership and proof that it was the gun that killed him. Court records and the serial number on the gun would have to match.
