Which Earp is Which?
« on: 12 December 2011, 08:30:28 PM »
I picked up a nice set of metal Black Scorpion Earps (and Doc Holliday), courtesy of our own Orctrader (thank you, Malcolm!), but can anyone tell me which figure is supposed to represent which Earp Bother (Virgil/Morgan/Wyatt) and which one is supposed to be Doc Holliday?

If it's meant to be the OK Corral, Doc had the shotgun. As for the brothers, it's anybody's guess. They looked very alike, but I think Wyatt had a bigger moustache than the other two. Virgil was the town marshal and the one who did the talking initially, so I guess he would be the one showing his badge.

Shotgun guy is Doc Holliday the rest are a bit too close to discern.

However, the guy showing his badge could reasonably be Wyatt.

Who's Morgan and who's Virgil I think is up for grabs.

Maybe trying to figure out who looks the oldest/youngest can help? Or simply go by moustache http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earp_family

Thanks for the responses. I was on the same track about Wyatt and Doc (Badge and Shotgun). The other two seen about equally craggy with equally droopy mustaches, so it may really be anybody's call...

You could simply differentiate them with different colors on their hair and moustasche - I did that on the Watt Earp blister from Artizan Design (which also had one model showing his badge, a shotgun dude and two moustache incognito's)

Drat, I thought this might be a thread on the female cowgirls from Australia (Manufacturer not coming to mind.)  There were the Earp girls and and Doc Holly Daye IIRC.

 Gracias,

The three Earps did look very much alike, esp Morgan and Wyatt.  Make it your call.

I suspect the guy with the badge is meant to be Wyatt, but if it's based on the OK Corrall, it should be Virgil. Virgil was the town marshall, and Wyatt didn't take up his post as US Deputy Marshall until after the incident at Tombstone...
