Got to admire the hand lettering though.





Ever the doubtful one, I'm wondering if this is authentic?

Look closely Alf, most definitely a "shoped" job. Sign has no attachments to the fence. Great sentiment though. Wish I had one on my fence but the Feds would be all over that one.

Still not sure if it's real or not, but it could be attached.  Looks like it might be nailed to the post just above the "B" at the top right and below the "ed" in tired on the lower right.  Might even be one at the end of his last name.  Definitely not attached to the fence though.

I think I have seen a picture of this in a book before.  Whether or not it is photo shopped, I like it.

The sign is authentic gentlemen. I posted it on a wild west history association board.
It is the real deal.  ;D I like it too!! Nice to be here and good to meet you.
