Roy Rogers was my idol growing up. (along with many others) He was not only a star, he was a great man.

I used to have a gold plated Roy Rogers cap gun like the ones he used in the movies and on comic book covers. It is known as the Roy Rogers '49er among capgun collectors. I never knew why until I heard Dusty's story. Apparently, it came out in 1949 as part of the Roy Rogers merchandising campaign. Sears and Roebuck carried all of Roy's clothes and toys for years in their catalogue.

Love your stories!

Dusty, point of interest for you about the gold "being worn", gold ions are very active and migrate into any metal they are in contact with.
I used to work at a place that did Hi-rel plating of electronics parts and any gold chloride solution left in the little dish at EOD had to be dumped so no contamination made it back to the main supply (VERY LITTLE WAS WASTED) so I took a little home in a syringe at end of day once and plated Ben's head on a Franklin 50 cent piece. It has never been in or out of a holster (LOL) . Always taken good care of as a sort of trophy but Ben's head is almost completely silver again as the gold migrated into the silver..(1962 - 2018).
Really like your videos and your dad was one of three of my favorites. Roy, Hoppy and Gene in that order!!

My late grandfather George Walker Lewis, met Leonard Slye at a rodeo in Roswell N.M., not sure what year,must have been sometime between 1935 & 1939, because my mom was born in 1939 & my grandad dropped out of the rodeo circuit, to be a father!

Gene Autry was a 33 degree Mason. My famous cowboy's unbelievable!

[@berniecom728]

It must be extremely hard to part with all his father things especially item so close to his father every day items, how do you action memorabilia's like that. These items will be gone when the grandchildren's, grandchildren's come and only stories will be told and nothing to show.
