DALLAS -- Relatives of legendary sharpshooter Annie Oakley are offering up a collection of items -- including her Stetson hat, guns, letters and photographs -- in an auction that one expert says hits the mark for its breadth and sentimental value.

On Sunday, Heritage Auctions will offer up about 100 Oakley-related items in Dallas, including a 12-gauge Parker Brothers shotgun that is expected to fetch about $100,000. Two Marlin .22 caliber rifles are expected to sell for more than $20,000 each.
