New Mexico lawman (1850–1908) who killed his former gambling partner, the fabled outlaw Billy the Kid, in 1881. In 1901 he was appointed customs collector in El Paso, Texas, where he served for five years before retiring. Garrett was fatally ambushed near Las Cruces; his suspected murderer, Jim ‘Deacon’ Miller, was never brought to justice. Rare DS, signed twice “P. F. Garrett” and once “P. F. G.,” one page both sides, 10.25 x 8, December 12, 1899. Capital stock certificate for 200 shares in the Alabama Gold and Copper Mining Company issued to Garrett himself, signed at the bottom by Garrett as secretary and countersigned by the president of the company, J. M. Llewellyn. Signed again by Garrett on the reverse upon transfer of the stock to H. D. Bowman. One dollar revenue stamp affixed to upper left corner, initialed and dated by Garrett, “P. F. C. Dec. 12/99.” Striking gold embossed seal affixed to the left side. In fine condition, with two vertical storage folds, one touching the start of the signature on the front, and a light pencil notation on the reverse. Garrett’s signature is one of the most coveted of all Old West figures, and a document such as this—in fantastic condition and with three signatures—is practically unheard of.
