An auction house sold what it deemed a "substantial" portion of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer's hair over the weekend… link |

That is pretty cool I suppose. It could be easy to prove, there are ancestors and DNA tests. |

I have to admit that for just a moment the image of his entire scalp flashed through my mind. How much would that sell for? |

Enough to buy back Manhattan? |

@Panzerfaust, funny that was my first thought too. |

There were some interesting lots in that auction; I was after the Austro-Hungarian officer's shako but got beat out. Heritage has a great reputation and their prices realized bear it out, but jeepers some of that stuff went for (IMHO) crazy money! |

Wouldn't all his ancestors be long dead? |

I must be odd like the rest of you, cause I also had a mental picture of Custer's scalp being sold. lol |

Custer was not scalped.His hair was actually cut short at the LBH. I was curious how they confirmed the identity too. |

If only it was Custer's Glock, the Sioux might not have won. |
