Boston.com reports Relatives of legendary sharpshooter Annie Oakley are offering up a collection of items -- including her Stetson hat, guns, letters and photographs -- in an auction that one expert says hits the mark for its breadth and sentimental value.
On Sunday, Heritage Auctions will offer up about 100 Oakley-related items in Dallas, including a 12-gauge Parker Brothers shotgun that is expected to fetch about $100,000. Two Marlin .22 caliber rifles are expected to sell for more than $20,000 each. Oakley gained fame in the 1880s and 1890s for her shooting skills as a performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. She died in 1926 at the age of 66, but has remained a pop culture icon.
