Part 6 of a 7 part series of interviews with Dusty Rogers (Roy Rogers, Jr.) discussing his famous parents, the closing of his family's museum and items from the museum that will be up for auction this June - including Roy Rogers famous 101 Colt single action guns
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.
