One of Buffalo Bill's favourite guns with which he used to wow crowds in his famous Wild West show has emerged for sale almost 100 years after his death.

The 1873 Colt Frontier Six Shooter Revolver gun is being auctioned with starting price of $37,500 - around £22,000 - at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas.
