Cool... but it wasn't Wild Bill as stated by the gentleman on the left, it was Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show... as I'm sure everyone here knows.

The gun Annie is holding in the background at the beginning of the youtube, and in the picture on the table is a Lancaster c. 1885

As an aside to the Annie story line:

I have some family heritage connection to buffalo Bill Cody. Bill lived with his sister in Denver in his later years and died here. Because of him passing here my grandmother & her siblings were in the crowd of the bystanders watching Cody's funeral procession on his way to being buried on top of lookout mountain overlooking the plains he loved, lived in & made him the man he was. Then several years afterwards, my grandfather & father's blacksmithing business was contracted to make wrought iron extensions for the fence surrounding his grave. The original fence was short enough that people were crawling over the fence & damaging his grave area, my grandfather's spear like extensions stopped this from happening.

This is probably one of the reasons why things Buffalo Bill related catch my attention. Let alone the Parker connection in this video
