A Genuine Single Action Army .45
Revolver Forced of Blued Steel, Clad in Pure Silver, Hand-fitted
with Genuine Black Horn Grips and Complete with its Elegant Display
Case
He first appeared on
television in 1949, just before the debut of "Captain
Video" and "The Lone Ranger." Dressed in black from head to toe and
riding a snow-white horse, Hopalong Cassidy quickly became America's
first true television hero. In fact, he was so popular that, within a
year, more people were watching "Hoppy" than Ed Sullivan or Groucho
Marx. And more than 300,000 parents and children once stood in line
just to greet him.
In his television show,
Hopalong Cassidy was a clever and kindly defender of truth and
justice. As foreman of the Bar 20 Ranch, he tracked down all manner of
unsavory characters - from cattle rustlers to desperate killers. He
epitomized "grace under pressure," always treating his fellow man with
respect and tirelessly upholding the principles of his country.
In fulfilling his duty,
Cassidy frequently relied upon his trusty Single-Action Army .45
Caliber Six Shooters, especially the one he carried in his right
holster. This revolver is considered the most desirable collectible of
all because the SAA .45 is the gun that was used by everyone from Bat
Masterson to General George Patton.
Hopalong Himself Would Have Been Proud To Carry This Gun
When you hold The Hopalong
Cassidy Six Shooter in your hands, you will feel the heft and the
intricate workmanship that is identical to the distinguished priceless
original. And you can experience the power of Cassidy's gun by firing
it if you wish - because it is fully functional.
This premier collectible
firearm has been handcrafted to capture a wealth of authentic detail -
including Hopalong's name in pure silver on both sides of the barrel.
The barrel is forged, not
cast - of steel, then blued. The gun is hand fitted with grips of
genuine black horn. And the portrait of Hopalong Cassidy (whose real
name was William Boyd) is etched in 24-karat gold on the recoil
shield.
