William Boyd first appeared on the silver screen in 1935 as Hopalong
Cassidy, and an American legend was born. Revered for his honesty,
integrity and patriotism, Hopalong Cassidy was so respected that
parents encouraged their children to watch his show.
Dressed in black from head to toe, Hopalong Cassidy quickly became
America’s first television superstar. William Boyd also starred on the
silver screen in 66 movies. His first movie was “Hop-A-Long-Cassidy.”
Winchester rifles were featured in the first Hopalong Cassidy movie,
and in subsequent films.
In his 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.
Now to celebrate the life and
career of this legendary Western icon, America Remembers proudly
presents the Hopalong Cassidy Tribute Rifle. Each Tribute is a working
Winchester Model 94 Trails End™ rifle in caliber .45 Colt. This Model
94 rifle has a tapered octagon barrel and a crescent buttplate,
special features which will certainly appeal to collectors.
The Hopalong Cassidy Tribute
Rifle is a museum-quality masterpiece, from the
elegant gold and nickel-embellished receiver to the handsomely
finished walnut
stocks. Each Tribute rifle is handsomely decorated by craftsmen
specifically
commissioned by America Remembers. The Tribute is available
exclusively
from America Remembers.

The right side of the receiver features a handsome portrait of
Hopalong Cassidy, with
the warm smile we all came to know and love, and an image of Hoppy
with his six-gun drawn, ready to subdue any villain whose path he
might cross. You will also see the name “William Boyd” prominently
displayed in gold below the familiar “Bar-20,” the ranch that Hoppy
called home.
