Like many of the officers of the period, Threepersons used, sold and traded a number of guns depending on what job he had and whether he needed the money or not. The triplelock mentioned above, along with a model 1894 Winchester were sold to Tom Powers of El Paso. The SAA, which was in the Autry museum was one of several that passed through his hands. The triplelock has the strongest provenance. If my memory holds up, contemporary photos show him with a trappers model or a chopped Winchester but it has not been located. Many of the officers carried backups, but none that can be directed linked to Threepersons' ownership have emerged. When Threepersons retired to move to New Mexico, he guided for a number of people but no one mentioned any special rifle he used. It is likely it was an 1894 because of his familiarity with that weapon.
