King of the Cowboys
|
 Roy
was one of a kind. In everything he did, on screen or off, he gave
his all, living his life with a sense of honesty, integrity and patriotism
that endeared him to fans around the world. His remarkable career
included roles in more than 100 films, numerous popular recordings, a
highly successful television show and membership in the National Cowboy
Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame, among other honors.
In the end, however, his greatest legacy is found in the millions of lives
he brightened with countless, treasured hours of great music and wholesome
thrills.Today, more than ever, America
appreciates the value of real heroes. That's why we're pleased to
announce an exclusive firearm issue honoring Roy Rogers, an American
icon and champion of fair play. For the Tribute, we selected the
legendary Single Action Revolver. Single Action revolvers found
unprecedented fame and played an important role in America's Western
frontier days. These revolvers played a major role in Hollywood
westerns, turning up in holsters of legendary western movie heroes like
Roy Rogers. From silent classics to the most recent blockbusters,
the Single Action Revolver was the pistol of choice in countless
big-screen adventures.
The "Happy Trails To You" Roy Rogers
Tribute Revolver is a celebration of timeless American ideals and the
legendary entertainer who represented them to generations of adoring fans.
This Tribute is sure to be popular with Roy's many admirers across the
country.
With his tremendous success, Roy never forgot his fans.
Even at the height of his popularity, he tried to make sure every piece of
fan mail that came in -- sometimes as many as two thousand letters a week
-- got a personal response. Roy still made time to visit sick,
injured and orphaned children around the country. Roy Rogers lived
his life by the same code he preached to the young members of the Roy
Rogers Riders Club: "Be courteous and polite ... protect the weak
and help them ... be brave but never take chances ... always respect our
flag and our country." Like the line in Dale's song, "Happy Trails,"
Roy believed, "it's the way you ride the trail that counts." From
the trail's beginning to its end, Roy rode tall and proud, like the hero
he was.

 Along the backstrap is an image
of Roy and his wonder horse, Trigger. The golden palomino
served Roy faithfully in his film and television adventures.
Here, Trigger rears up on his hind legs in the famous pose he
struck in the many parades, rodeos and other public appearances
he made with Roy over the years. Beneath this image is a
recreation of Roy Roger's signature.
