John Henry “Doc” Holliday died from tuberculosis in 1887 at the young age of 36. This .41 caliber 1866 Remington double barrel derringer, a gift from Holliday’s common-law wife, Katherine “Big Nose Kate” Horony-Cummings, was used as payment to cover his funeral costs. The weapon ended up in the hands of a local bartender who kept it as a family heirloom for nearly a century until it was finally sold in 1968 and disappeared for almost five decades.
