MAVERICK and the "Relic of Fort Tejon" (1958)

This adventure from Four Color comics #930 comes you direct from 1958. Don't know who drew it. Do you?

This story is dedicated to Owlhoot Dale Goble. If anyone out there has a camel in need of a good home, please let me know - and I'll put you in touch with Mr. G.

Cap Gun Monday: Halco MAVERICK 45

This Maverick 45 is 10 1/2 inches of solid copper-toned metal, and a fine example of capgunsmithing. The 'H' brand stands for Halco, a toy distributor that farmed out the manufacturing to other cap gun companies. This one was made by Leslie-Henry, the same outfit that brought us last week's smaller Maverick pistol. That rearing pony was the Leslie-Henry trademark.

 

Whatever Happened to No Toes McInnis? Cap Gun Monday: MAVERICK

I don't remember where I got this holster, but I know the name of the original owner. Makes me wonder whatever happened to him - and more to the point - what happened to his toes? If you happened to be acquainted with old No Toes, ask him to shoot me an email. I'm sure our readers would like to hear the tale. In any case, he is to be commended for keeping his toys in such good shape (except, of course, for searing his name into the holster belt with a wood burning tool). 

The Maverick pistol shown here, made by Leslie-Henry, is basically the same gun as the Davy Crockett model shown HERE. I also have Gene Autry and Paladin versions, and there were several others.
