TV Westerns

I used to watch this show religiously.  Recently came across this item, and it brought me right back to my youth.
 
 
Have Gun Will Travel - Paladin

Have Gun Will Travel Tidbits

Paladin (Richard Boone) is a West Point educated gentleman with a taste for fine wines and foods. Based at the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco, he was a man for hire.

Paladin would do anything for those in serious need. He read the newspapers from across the country and sometimes sent his calling card to those he felt might use his services as gunfighter, bodyguard or anything else that his skills could accomodate. His fee to those who could pay was $1,000.

While at the hotel, he dressed the dandy. But for work, he was a man in black.

He carried a Colt .45 revolver in a holster with a white knight (the Paladin) on it and a small derringer under his gunbelt.

Gene Rodenberry polished his writing skills on this show!

Passings

Richard Boone died in 1981 of throat cancer.

  1. Who's 'Linda N'....silly....that's me (otherwise known as Mom1945-Linda).  Those damned little witches are at it again!!!!   Anyway, did you know ~~~~~~~~   Gene Autry's horse's name was Champion. Hopalong Cassidy's horse's name was Topper. Paladin's horse's name was Rafter.   How's that for real useless information.  Not bad, eh?   Cheers.
