Anyone know who the dangerous-looking young man is? I know I should know, but I don’t know.

It’s Jesse James

No, it's not Jesse. I don't think it's anyone well-known.
That appears to be a Colt 1851 Navy revolver he's holding, though. -
Interesting. Thanks!

This is a scan of my piece of paper, BTW. I overpaid for it, but how could I resist a handbill with NRPS, Hartbeats, and BAATCFTBOTD?

I am trying to think if the Bobby Ace nomenclature was ever printed on any other piece of paper, other than lists made ex post.

The 6/11/69 California Hall show, for one:

According to Randy Tuten- the artist of the poster, he believes it’s Jesse James.

He's the best person to know, and maybe the photo he used was attributed that way, but it's not correct. Apart from the face being different, I haven't seen this photo identified as Jesse James anywhere.
For instance, see these collections of Jesse James photos, some authentic, some not:

As you see, there are a number of photos claimed to be Jesse…but this one isn't among them. -
I was wondering about that. I bet that one is hard to find!
