Davy Crockett! "King of the Wild Frontier" We
Texans have a special warm spot in our heart of hearts for Davy Crockett and
his Tennessee Volunteers. Davy was a smart man, a patriot and even a
Congressman from Tennessee. He even took his rifle into Congress. He probably
should have used it.

One of the biggest heroes to
ever hit the screen: Davy Crockett! You know..."Born on a mountain top in
Tennessee, Greenest state in the land of the free..." Our hero, Fess Parker as
Davy Crockett. (shown here with old "Betsy") Well, we Texans ALL know who he
is, for he died in our Battle of the Alamo. But thanks to Davy, Sam Houston,
Jim Bowie and many others, we have a state, The Lone Star State!

I'm sorry, but
I'm going to have to ask you to click on this thumbnail, as the regular photo
is entirely too large. This page takes quite long enough to load as it is. If
you weren't so interested in these Cap Guns, you probably would already have
given up a long time ago.
Many thanks to our friend Tom Coates for this
photo.
And
even a belt buckle dedicated to our hero.

Here's a nice set of 3
Davy Crockett Cap Guns. The top one is a painted Lone Star (done at the
factory!), the mid one is a very rare Classy and the bottom one is a George
Schmidt.

collection.

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.

Leslie-Henry Davy Crockett
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This gun, of course, is no more than a standard
Leslie-Henry like the Wild Bill Hickok that has been re-tooled to have the name
Davy Crockett.
But then again, your ring finger is very much like
your middle finger and you wouldn't want to do without it, so you have to have
the Davy Crockett gun if you want a complete Leslie-Henry set. Besides, the
doggone thing is quite rare!!!

Leslie-Henry Davy Crockett
Cap Guns
|
|
|
|
| Here's
another example of virtually "cloned" Cap Guns. You will notice, of course,
that the grips are different and the hammers are a little different. This Davy
Crockett gun is also different from the other one listed in the Leslie-Henry
section. Michael mentions that these are the 9" versions of these
guns. |

Hubley Davy
Crockett Rifle
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
This old flintlock must have
belonged to Davy himself. Probably somebody found it at the Alamo. Or at least
that's where Hubley found it to make a copy.
Photos thanks to Jim Fitzpatrick.
Thanks
a bunch!
