Our beloved Jimmy Stewart wore the same cowboy hat and rode the same
horse in most of his westerns. Jimmy rode "Pie" in one of his earliest
westerns and chose "Pie" as his horse for every movie until Pie died.
Jimmy wore the same hat in so many movies it just about died too.

Did you know Jimmy Stewart was already a big star by 1941, having earned
and Oscar nomination for "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" and the Oscar
for "The Philadelphia Story", but he joined the Army Air Corps by march of
that year. He knew that war was coming so he signed up nine months
before Pearl Harbour and Jimmy Stewart was the
first Hollywood
personality to join the military.

Jimmy rose to the rank of Colonel by wars end and had logged more than
1,800 hours of bomber flight time. He earned the distinguished flying cross
among other medals and remained in the air force reserve, eventually
becoming Brigadier General James Stewart.

When Jimmy returned to Hollywood after the war several studios wanted
him for war movies to capitalize on his experience & fame. Jimmy refused
to do so and made no war movies.

Jimmy Stewart was the real thing. A great American. What a contrast to
some celebrities of today.

We won an award for our Jimmy
Stewart cowboy hat in 2009.  The
award was not for best Jimmy
Stewart Hat but for best cowboy
movie hat overall.  Jimmy Stewart
was being honored at the Lone
Pine Western Movie Festival that
year and I was told the award came
about because of a popular vote at
the festival.

All of our awards are from popular
votes and we are pleased and
proud of that fact.
        The movie Winchester '73 was released in 1950 and, as the name
implies, one of the key elements of the story was an 1873 model
Winchester rifle.  
       In 1875 Winchester test fired the barrels of the 1873 models and
selected the best to be sold at a premium.  The most accurate out of one
hundred tested would be marked one of one hundred; The most accurate
of one thousand tested would be marked one of one thousand.   One of
one thousand '73 Winchesters sold for $100 in 1875  The rifle in the Jimmy
Stewart Movie was an engraved one of one thousand that he won in a
marksmanship contest.  The villain wanted that rifle and mayhem ensued
as they say.  
       When the movie Winchester '73 was released in 1950 Winchester and
Universal Pictures launched a nationwide search for original one of one
thousand Winchester rifles.  150, 000 "Wanted" posters were printed and
distributed to gun dealers, chiefs of police, newspapers, radio stations,
rifle clubs and movie theatres.  Over two dozen one of one thousand '73
Winchesters were located and the owners were awarded a new model '94
rifle.  All this helped to make the movie, Winchester '73, a hit and the rifle
high on the list of collectibles.  Today an engraved one of one thousand
is priceless so you and I won't likely have one but you can have the movie
and it is a must have for a western movie fan or collector.  You can also
have the Jimmy Stewart cowboy hat and we hope it will be high on your
list of collectibles.
