[@dabdella1460]

We can only imagine the thrill of having The Virginian s gun in a Western museum. James you were more important than what you thought. And you were not given enough or any Accolades for your talents as an actor I applaud you kind Sir.

At the moment I am listening to the audio book version of The Virginian. What a fantastic story, Full of depth of imagination, poetry philosophy. romance, sadness and comedy.

James drury is the bomb. Handsome back in the days I wish I had been coming alone at that time I would have made a play for him.

Friday nights around 7pm in the 1960's the progamme to watch was the Virginian. I was around 7 or 8 and used to watch it with my Grandfather who was a big cowboy fan. When there was a western film showing on tv he would always watch in the dark. It was just like being in the movies. Was there ever a Western series in which the opening sequence of each show was a man wearing a set of spurs on his boots, but you only saw his legs and boots, not the whole men. He starts to climb wooden steps that usual lead from the dusty street to the side walk around buildings in Western towns. A shot suddenly rings out and one of his spurs suddenly spin round. Was that a series or something I have imagined? As far as I can remember it was on a Saturday night as a double bill with The Dakotas.

You may be talking about TATE Starring David Mclean, a very short run series. This episode has Robert Redford and Robert Culp as guest stars. kzbin.info/www/bejne/govak6p3jdCXrrs

Andy Anderson also made the Holster " The Walk and Draw Style" for Steve McQueen, That he wore & used in the Movie " The Magnificent 7." The Thing was the Holster's look.? As McQueen liked to use Gimmicks.? He wore a Holster that was made for a 6" gun But the Gun that he used was a 7 1/2" so that it stuck out of the bottom of that Holster,? And gave it a much Bader look to it.?

Andy Anderson made rigs for a lot of people in Hollywood. But he first worked for Arvo Ojala and he used the steel lined holsters that Ojala held the patent on. So Ojala took Anderson to court over that and won

Great to see James again! God Bless sir. Thanks for the video. On another point, when using the old KZbin when you subscribed you would automatically get new videos as they were posted, no so any longer. How do I get automatic added videos? Anyone else having this problem?

He was a hero of mine growig up. Those 45's are to identifiable for the thief to advertise an sell them. The thief will have to do a private sell with a buyer who doesn't care he is buying stolen goods. The thief will make much lessthags commiting a crimet way. They can't be displayed at gun or old west shows either. Given they were in California they were likely used by some rhu
