Even more Cap Guns from George Schmidt!






Schmidt Roy Rogers Double Holster Set
Though I still think that this set of Cap Guns looks like the Classy Roy Rogers Cap Guns, the giveaway is the hammer. The Classy guns have a more sophisticated hammer.

PROOF that it was sold! In real U.S. stores! $8.85 was real money before the American people started demanding that their Congress start handing out welfare checks and other types of entitlements. America didn't even have an income tax at one time. I wonder how we ever survived?


Roy Rogers by George Schmidt (Dummy Version)
Right Side Here is a Cap Gun from the 1950-1960 era, but the dummy version. The dummy version is one that WOULDN'T fire caps!

All you have to do is to take a look at the hammer on thie "Cap Gun" and you will notice that it is different from others. This one is in MINT shape!

Many thanks to David Denton of The Antique Cowboy.

Click on the above photo to see it bigger; this one is from Chuck Quinn's vast collection.


Here's the same Davy Crockett, but in the Buck'n Bronc style and with a box!

Thanks to Dave Klahn for the photos.



George Schmidt Davy Crockett
in the Pathfinder Style
This gun falls EXACTLY between the gun directly above and the gun directly below. It is a Pathfinder, but with Davy Crockett's name on it.

When you consider the extravagant expense of tooling up a high-quality Cap Gun like this, then you can see why the manufacturer wanted to save money where they could.

Rotating Cylinder Davy Crockett
Buck 'N Bronc
Now folks, this Cap Gun is as rare as the Dickens! Notice that this one has a rotating cylinder. The other Davy Crockett doesn't. This is the rare one! And you won't see a better example! Notice on the last photo how it used roll caps—even though it had a rotating cylinder. They had to compromise and that's how they got lots of bang, but with a little more realism. This Cap Gun also has a Pathfinder-type secret compartment in the bottom of the grip with a compass.

Photos thanks to Bob Hritz - Another Cap Gun Gentleman!





George Schmidt Pathfinder (Buck 'N Bronc)
This is an unusual Cap Gun in that it has a compass hidden in the grip!

All Photos Thanks To John Isola!



Another Pathfinder!!!
Well, this is such a rare Cap Gun and I don't want to discourage people sending in their photos of their favorite Cap Guns, so when I had these sent in, I just had to use them.

Especially when you consider the condition that this Cap Gun is in!!! Remarkable! Some people collect what they can (me!) and some people collect nothing but finest. (him)

Well, by now you know what a sucker I am for an even better photo of a Cap Gun.
Thanks to Scott McCollum.





Here's a really nice set of Alan Ladd spurs from George Schmidt.


OKAY, I squeezed it in order to help this page load more quickly, but if you click on the squeezed photo above, you will see an ad for Alan Ladd by George Schmidt. This is a rare ad find too.

Thanks to Mike Merryman for these photos.



Hopalong Cassidy Gold Revolver
Click to See Larger View of similar type of Cap Gun that says, "Buck 'N Bronc" on the side instead of just Hopalong Cassidy like this one.
A contribution from Scott McCollum.



And here is the box that went with this rare Cap Gun.
The gun is rare enough, but I think the box is worth more.

Thanks to Scott McCollum for the photo, one of our advertisers. Cap Gun Treasures!





Here is a Buck 'N Bronc Shoot "N Iron that is a combination of the same style as that Hoppy gold version, but with one of the Buck 'N Bronc grip combinations with the Indian on the cayuse. My guess is that the gun is valuable and the box is priceless, but what do I know? I'm happy to have any box. This one also seems to be properly sealed in shrink-wrapped plastic. Whoever thought of that idea ought to get a free box for his efforts. Click on this photo to see an even bigger photo.

Hopalong Cassidy w/ Black Grips
This slight variation seems to be one of the more rare, as it is black grips with the white bust of our hero.

It also doesn't say "Buck 'N Bronc" on the right side of the frame.

Even More!
Hoppy Double Holster Set w/ Schmidt Cap Guns
Well this seems to be basically the set that we see just above. The photos were a little shaky and I have tried to sharpen them as much as I can.

There were so many Hopalong Cassidy products in the 1950's that I think they eclipsed all of the other Western Heroes when it comes to toys.

Here I present a simply remarkable set with George Schmidt Cap Guns. At the time I have put this set up, it was still on auction on Ebay and only time will tell what it will go for, but I think it is quite valuable. To be perfectly candid, I don't think these photos really do the set justice, as it is a wonderful set.

Here's the same Hopalong Cassidy Cap Gun, but with the white grips.

Photos (above and below) by Michael Sheehan

And below we have a close-up of the grip where I enhanced the photo (gamma factor) in order that you could see (and read) a little more of the Hoppy "logo" on the grip. William Boyd always exemplified the True Western Ethic in his shows.



Here is a Hopalong Cassidy Dummy version that has white grips. The dummy versions are very rare. Here you can see a difference in the hammer and how it is going to strike the anvil.
IF YOU CLICK ON THIS PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE A DIFFERENT DEPICTION.
