1922 Stage cowboy with P08
 

I recently came across this one.
Probably a native Austrian or German resident performing under the name of 'Texas Patty'. The postcard is signed by him.

Interesting memento of the 1920s.

The card reads

'Zur Erinnerung an Schützenfest 1922 Auerbach'

Roughly translated as 'In remembrance of the shooting celebration 1922 Auerbach'

I have this one, looks the same I think?:cool::cool:

Yup, that'll be the one. Interesting outfit :)

I like those boots.

I have this one in my file. A bandit ("cangaceiro") from Brazil outback - a true outlaw, pictured around 1927

Texas Patty has one flamboyant ammo bag. :eek:

Cool old picture. Thanks for sharing.

The caption states that "Texas Patty" is German/Mexican?

Germans went all over the Americas since early XIXth century. North America included.:rolleyes:

If you have ever watched "Das Boot". The first watch officer (the only obvious Nazi on board) was a Mexican German.

Oi Douglas,

Esse dai parece mais saido da "Tocaia Grande" ou de "S. Jorge de Ilheus" de Jorge Amado do que do Cangaco.

Peco desculpa mas o meu teclado Anglo saxonico nao tem acentos, cedilhas ou til. :mad:

Nota: This was supposed to be a private message, but apparently you either chose not to receive or are blocked out.

a fancy tm-08 bag ?

Oddly, this guy came from a family with wealthy background. When one of his brothers was killed, he started a personal vendetta which led him to a crime life. That's why he didn't look like other "cangaceiros".

PS - I'll check my PMs configurations.
