I've seen this photo before but can't recall all the details. From memory, the bloke on the left was a US Marshall who later lost an arm to a gunshot wound....
Johnson, maybe ?

Hmm, three different badges. I wonder if they were related and in the same line of work, but different agencies.

Weatherford Texas or Oklahoma?

I too kinda thought the guy on our right might be carrying a Merwin Hulbert. I can't even see a gun in the left guys holster.

Texas Deputy U.S. Marshal Edward W. Johnson (at left) lost his right arm in an 1888 gunfight soon after this photograph was taken. He gained notoriety after an 1889 mob attacked the notorious Marlow Brothers during a jail transport, an incident that inspired the 1965 film Sons of Katie Elder. What we love most about this photo are the different styles of lawman badges worn by him, Texas Ranger Lorenzo K. Creekman (center) and Parker County Deputy Sheriff E.A. Hutchison (at right).

PRESCOTT POSSE
Yavapai County Sheriff Buckey O’Neill (third from left) had his horse shot out from under him during a gunfight near Wah Weep Canyon in Utah, yet he and his posse still scared the outlaws into surrendering. Those bad men were four cowboys who had robbed an Atlantic & Pacific train at Canyon Diablo Station, a railhead that serviced Prescott, Arizona.

Great job olyinaz you are exactly right. I have not seen George Jackson Jr. in many years. I'm not sure he is still around, hope so. We use to trade a lot. RR7

Interesting thread :D :D

The guy second from the left in the above picture reminds me of a famous actor in the movies, gone now.
