Oh Yes, I had two of them, and a gun belt with two holsters. Wish I still had them along with my Lionel train set.

Great looking gun

I got the holster set when I was five, so it's gota be "old"!!!

Great find. They don't come out of the ground like that very often.

You could wear them with your mandatory mask and hold up a train...just sayin

WV,
Welcome to treasurenet !!
Some history.......
"To millions of kids watching TV in the 50's there wasn't a bigger hero in the world than Hopalong Cassidy. William Boyd played the part and every part of the show was not only a "Western," but it was full of morality. The emphasis wasn't on spilling blood. The emphasis was that Good will always triumph over Wrong and that Evil had to be rooted out by our heroes."

Nice, I rarely find complete guns just parts. Just yesterday I hit a nice signal in a farm field and it was the barrel and trigger from an old cap gun. They are both in the trash bin I keep in the back of my Jeep as we speak. But man, what a signal they give when you hit them. Welcome and keep posting!!

Excellent find and in great shape with everything intact, even the hammer!
