The "Cisco Kid" was Duncan Renaldo. His sidekick
was "Pancho," played by Leo Carrillo. This was a very popular TV show (from the
movies) during the mid 1950's. If you wonder why I haven't put The Cisco Kid in
the same menu section as Hopalong Cassidy, it is simply because I don't have
enough other character guns to make up another row for the menu. Simple as
that.
However, that said, there are not very many models out there and
there seems to be some confusion. While they are rare, they are not necessarily
in high demand, so that price fluctuates quite a big—according to whether
or not it is a serious collector. There seems to be some "cross-over" when it
comes to the concept of "the name" or "the company." There seem to be both.
However, it would seem that "Cisco Kid" was also some sort of distribution
company. Lone Star of England made some of the guns.

It sorta scares me to
pieces to think what a set like this is worth and yet Chuck seems to raise them
in his backyard garden. I should import some of that California soil. This
whole set is DEAD MINT and the Cap Guns are a Mexican Version to boot! After
all, the Mexico and Spaniards did invent cowboys, so what can I say? You could
visit every Cap Gun show in America and probably not see a set like this.
I just couldn't resist
showing you a closer photo of those Mexican made Cap Guns. If you will notice,
the conchos match the medallions on the grips with Cisco in the middle. They
actually say, "CISCO KID." More Belinda magic.

Here's a nice double holster set that features Lone Star guns
from England. A set like this is pretty rare! The guns are like the one picture
just above.

| Here's a
Cisco Kid gun holster in very good condition for its age. It's for a little
cowboy. There are two little metal guns on the back of the belt. |

"Hey Cisco......." "Hey Pancho."
Pancho (left) was Leo
Carrillo and The Cisco Kid was Duncan Renaldo.

Here's an interesting set by Lone Star of England. Still MINT in
the box. An unusual find. Cisco Kid literature and films are relatively easy to
find, but Cap Guns sets? I think not! You will notice that the Cap Gun is a
"BUCKAROO" by Lone Star and the entire set is a "Cisco Kid" set.
Kudos to Phil
Waller for this photo contribution! |

Here's a nice kid's
cowboy hat by Kentley Headwear Company.
Our thanks to Tom Coates for this
photo.
I get a lot of people
from England who have looked up on one of the search engines for Cisco Kid Cap
Guns. Why? I don't know. Except I liked him too. You know, Cisco and Pancho. Or
Duncan and Leo if you prefer. These are Lone Star Cap Guns and the one on top
is the dull finish and the one on bottom is the bright finish. I think the dull
finish is the more rare. Both of these examples are DEAD MINT.
Thanks to
Belinda Quan for these photos from the Chuck Quinn collection.
Here is the same version of the
Lone Star Cisco Kid Cap Gun from England. Please notice the just above and to
the left of the "CISCO KID" printing, it says, "LONE STAR." It's a little
easier to read in this photos

This is a good example of a
Cisco Kid Cap Gun set that is made by Lone Star of England. I haven't been able
to find out a lot about these guns, but as you can tell, the quality is quite
nice.
You have David Denton of The Antique
Cowboy to thank for these photos. He's one of our
advertisers!

Here's a Cisco kid and box
that is very much like the one above. It differs in a few details.
Thanks Ron
Joyner!
I always like The Cisco Kid!
His horse was named "Diablo." Actually they used more than one horse in the
series, just substituting them out.
